Five-storey building collapses due to flooding

A remarkable video has emerged from China showing a five-storey block of flats collapse into a flooded river.

In the video, which was filmed in Chamdo Prefecture on July 8, the fast-flowing water appears to wash away the building's foundations and it topples over into the river.

Luckily the residents were evacuated in advance and there were no casualties.

The clip also shows a empty lorry falling into the river as part of the river bank subsided.
