Gelombang Pasang Kejutkan Warga China
Gigantic Tidal Wave Knocks Hundreds of Chinese Bystanders Off Their Feet
BANJIR bandang tiba-tiba menyapu ratusan ketika melintas di tepi bantaran sungai ketika luapan air sungai menerjang dinding pembatas sungai. Kejadian tersebut mengejutkan warga yang melintas di tepi Sungai Qiantang di provinsi Zhejiang, China ketika banjir bandang menerjang, Rabu.
Gelombang air yang disebut warga setempat menyerupai terompet dari Sungai Qiantang, terbentuk akibat air pasang dari Laut China Timur, yang gelombangnya tergolong terbesar di dunia dan ketinggian gelombang mencapai hingga 11,5 meter. Kendati begitu setiap tahun, jutaan orang berduyun-duyun datang untuk melihatnya pada hari ke-18 saat bulan purnama. Pada Agustus tahun lalu, lebih 30 orang terluka akibat gelombang sungai akibat Topan Trami. (Foto2: MailOnline)
HUNDREDS of people were unexpectedly swept off their feet when the world's largest tidal bore surged up a river and blasted a gigantic wave over the bank. The shocked onlookers were standing on the banks of the Qiantang River in China's Zhejiang province when the monster wave struck yesterday.
The 'trumpet-shaped' mouth of the Qiantang, which sees large waves created by incoming tides from the East China Sea, is though to be the biggest in the world and can generate waves up to 11.5 feet high. Every year, millions of people flock to see it on the 18th day of the eight lunar month. In August last year, more than 30 people were injured by the tidal bore, which was given extra force by Typhoon Trami. (Photos by MailOnline)
