At the parking area of the Ky Son District Political Center, two five-seat cars of local residents were buried by rocks and soil due to the terrible flood that occurred on the morning of October 2. However, due to being isolated by floodwaters for many days afterward, it was not until the morning of October 5 that dozens of young people were able to help move large rocks and excavate soil to rescue these cars.
