A heavy chunk of a bridge in Baltimore that rests on a ship that knocked down the bridge will have to be hacked into pieces and hauled away by cranes before the vessel can be towed away.
IT resembled a scene straight out of the movie"Twister," except this was the reality before our eyes, says Eugene Tham, whose friend’s condo unit was destroyed by a thunderstorm recently.
Tham questioned the durability of the roof, especially considering the project's relatively recent completion. Meanwhile, about 28 vehicles were damaged during the same thunderstorm, after debris that had been ripped off the rooftops of Block C at the Kampung Muhhibah People’s Housing Project , landed on them in the flat’s parking lot.
"I am not the only one who lost everything, there are at least 20 traders operating in the PPR who also experienced similar losses," she said. Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, who visited the site immediately after the incident, mobilised her own contractors to repair the roof and provided financial assistance of RM300 to each victim who lost their car in the incident.
