Tuesday night in Chongqing, under a pedestrian bridge on Jiabin Road near the tourist area, a heavy storm left a puddle about ten centimeters deep. A mother and her daughter, out-of-town visitors, collapsed upon stepping into the water with sneakers on. Witnesses felt the electric current while trying to approach and had to use umbrellas and plastic bags to pull them out. Police and an ambulance rushed them to the hospital. The mother is now stable; the daughter remains in critical condition. Locals are talking about "electricity in the water," and utility crews are already inspecting the area. In a tourist-packed spot, a small puddle turned into a silent trap because public facilities didn't cut the power in time. The rain exposed a hidden risk that often goes unnoticed until someone falls victim.
