Natural disasters can destroy and damage a humongous property in just some time. And a similar incident took place in Pakistan a few days back. A short clip of the floods sweeping away a multi-storey luxury hotel in Pakistan was uploaded on the Internet and it went viral on social media platforms. The video is very scary and fearsome to watch the floods brushing off the huge property vigorously.
The Luxury Hotel In Pakistan Swept Away In Floods In A Short Span
Nestled in Kalam, Pakistan, the ‘Iconic New Honeymoon Hotel’ was destroyed to pieces in just some seconds after the massive floods attacked it. The property was extremely huge and also one of Kalam’s largest and costliest hotels. It had more than 150 stunning rooms and was indeed a treat to the eyes. Unfortunately, the floods did not even spare anything. In between all this bad news and devastation, the only good news is that no one was harmed during this terrifying moment. On 24 August, everyone including the guests, staff members, and workers was evacuated and shifted elsewhere.
