(Baonghean.vn) – A huge amount of wood and firewood from the flooded area piled up in the Khe Bo hydroelectric reservoir section through Tam Dinh commune (Tuong Duong), becoming a "bargain" for households living nearby. Many people earned millions from salvaging items after the flood.
 |
| On September 14, flash floods swept through four inner communes, including Yen Tinh, Yen Hoa, Nga My, Yen Na of Tuong Duong district, causing serious damage to many houses, belongings, and crops of the people. Following the flood, many houses and household items also piled up in the Huoi Nguyen bridge area of Tam Dinh commune, turning this place into a giant floating garbage dump on the Khe Bo Hydropower Reservoir. |
 |
| Accordingly, this is an opportunity for people from Dinh Tien, Pung, Canh villages (Tam Dinh commune), and people from more distant communes such as Tam Huong and Mo Than (Tam Quang) to come to this floating landfill to search. |
 |
| Men walk on the garbage dump in the middle of the lake, with the goal of finding anything usable, the most common of which is wood. |
 |
| People mobilized boats to transport |
 |
| And indispensable are large, sturdy ropes for pulling objects. |
 |
| Many people even bring chainsaws to cut wood directly so they can easily bring it ashore. |
 |
| To find large, valuable logs, this man has to risk diving into water dozens of meters deep. |
 |
| A tree that has not been brought ashore but has been "marked". |
 |
| Some people even carefully anchored it to the bridge railing waiting for their family to come out and pull it out. |
 |
| This job is mainly for men. |
 |
| Some household items that were washed away intact were found by a man. |
 |
| Many valuable logs were loaded onto trucks waiting to be hauled back. |
 |
| Salvaging belongings swept away by floods is not uncommon for people living in the reservoir area. However, local authorities also need to take warning measures to prevent unfortunate accidents from happening. |
