A normal day at work almost ended in tragedy for construction workers who were working on a dam which cracked, causing an intense flood!  

According to news agency KPL, the Nam Ao Hydropower Project is currently under construction, and the recent heavy rains in Xaysomboun Province of Laos damaged a sub-reservoir, which caused the dam to break. The main reservoir was not affected.

Footage of the incident shows men running for their lives, and those who tried to escape with their cars got caught in the flood as the water swept through the construction site.

Thankfully, there were no reported injuries or deaths from the flood!
