  4. the locals are doing a great job as for the government coming to their aid pretty slow at that I am not surprised locals showed the king of spain how they truly feel about the lack of help. good on them

  5. Unbearable.
    The utter carnage is staggering. Hats off to those workers clearing the roads. Seeing men with poles and cadavar dogs hits home the immensity of the catastrophic destruction caused by this flood.

  7. Wasn't it Valencia’s racist soccer fans that made monkey noises, yelled “ MONO” and the N-word, and threw bananas at Vinicius Junior and other Black soccer players? ??? This is KARMA !!!

  9. Two things are seen from this. Firstly, the kindness of ordinary people in their response to the suffering and grief of others. And secondly, how slow the reaction was by the authorities, to what was a national and urgent emergency.

  12. Lol, no roads or transportation left but let's blame the government for not getting their fast enough to help. 🤷🤦‍♂️🤣

  13. I cant believe how many people survived all this with the destruction and devastation being so bad even though the death toll will be very high

  14. Welcome to the new world. This used to be rare now it is happening on a daily basis somewhere in the world. It is only going to get worse far worse.
    Crops are going to fail, food shortages, wild fires, droughts, disease and pestilence, people going crazy. People cannot shift away from what they know and expect. This is just the beginning of the end of the world. A new world dystopia is beginning and will not stop. Humans are stupid cannot see what is right in front of them. Good luck.

  15. dramatic reality of climate change. And Spain still do NOT wanna adopt and support China EV !!!!! Choose to be an absentee in recent China EV import Tariff vote.

  18. So sad for Spain. I understand why Spanish people wanna move to nothern europe with this slow government and public systems they have.

  19. I watched the footage of the flood disaster that hit this part of Spain and felt sympathy and I hope that those affected can quickly recover to normal and that their daily lives can be stable.

  24. Climate Change has made the World's Infrastructure obsolete and more Death and Destruction follows until People understand how Climate Change is killing the World. 2024

  26. Developed world is feeling the pinch now with the natural calamity that is exacerbated by the climate change phenomenon. The whole world needs to act together now.

  27. The infrastructure needs completely rebuilding. Spain is a rich country so hopefully it will get done before the next incident…Tony cuenca

  28. As a Spanish, I want to thank the French firefighters that where the first ones to get there and also the French gov. That offer help the the Spanish government declined. Thanks France 🇫🇷 ❤

  33. protect nature at all cost trees, plants, animals and other species. do good things, compassion and love for all living things that god created

    but people did not follow these rules. wrath, karma upon the humanity entire world.

    change now and its time.

  36. The maximum of precipitation in Valencia occurs in autumn and it coincides with the time of the year when  episodes of what is called gotas frias ( cold drops) occur, these are associated with low pressure systems at high altitude which normal for the time of the year in that part of the Western Mediterranean coast. The year-on-year variability in precipitation may be, however, considerable as exemplified by large floods that happened in the area in October of 1957.

  37. Condolences to the fallen victims and their families.

    It's time for a little more coverage or information, please.

    The number of people confirmed dead is close to 300, but how many are missing, i.e., how many more may ultimately be lost, up to how many more may be killed?
    Are rescue workers from outside of Spain arriving? If so, how many of each?
    How long is it expected to take to restore the railroads and major roads?
    Was the king responsible for the administrative execution of the mud slung at him? It would make a difference.
    Is the Spanish government working on subsidies and reconstruction programs?
    How is Spain's GDP forecast expected to change?
    Could there be a temporary relaxation of EU fiscal discipline rules?
    How high are insurance payments estimated to be?

  40. At least in Spain, they did not cover up the numbers of deaths caused by the flood like Polish government did by saying that who ever drowned in the car is a victim of the car accident 😔

  44. Obviously they removed many small dams that stopped the water in the mountains. EU wanted free flow rivers and they took them away. Congratulations Valencia – a present from EU and VDL. What did you learn – out of EU ASAP.
