Contractors rush to aid Euro flood clean up

摘要

Volunteers from the construction industry were among those who went out in force to help with rescue and clean-up efforts in the wake of the recent catastrophic flash floods in Western Europe. Heinz-Gert Kessel, the head of the Franz Bracht Group mobile crane planning and consulting department in Germany and KHL special correspondent, was himself busy with his shovel helping to dig neighbours out of their collapsed houses. "It is like after a war," said Kessel," who lives just 2km from the evacuation zone around one of the worst affected areas. "We moved all of our things to the second floor, including all of the things in my office. Most of the houses in the area have water in the cellar."
