The disturbing video of lady swept away by heavy flood has sparked mixed reactions following failed attempt to rescue her.
As captured in the video shared on Instagram on Tuesday, some residents of the flooded community had extended a rope to the lady who was stuck in the middle of the torrent flood.
Other residents had watched in panic as the lady attempted to step into the flood with the rope in her hands.
Unfortunately, she was knocked off balance by the flood which eloped and washed her away in seconds as the onlookers screamed in shock.
Though the exact location of the incident was unconfirmed, it had however sparked mixed reactions from netizens as some claimed she would have remained at the spot she was trapped.
Others expressed their displeasure with onlookers who were recording her rather than joining the rescuers.

“The robe was to long and not strong enough. If he had tided it very strong around his hip, and then tied it on his arm, he won’t have lost his life. Because people on this end would have pulled him out. The fact is that once you enter that water you lose 100% control of what happens to you. Only people on this other side that can save you by pulling an unconscious you out of the floor. This is sad”@anse2222
“They should have allow her to remain there”@maro7ven
“Mumu people, imagine the kind of rope they gave her, would have been better if she even remained there till the whole thing subsided, they just wasted the poor ladies life, no single sense at all 😡😡😡😡”@esan_doctor
“Use a drone to deliver to her with instructions to tie it round her waist while people at the other end pull her out of the water”@24thstreet_pictures
