History
On July 22, 2000, the Bazhang River experienced extreme flooding. Four workers on a riverbed construction project became trapped in the river by flash flooding. After waiting for over three hours for air rescue, to the shock of viewers on live television, the workers were swept away by floodwaters.[2][3] Another flood event occurred in 2001.[2]
