Rubble bell. Two houses were destroyed in the Karln crack at two minutes past noon. Firefighters could hear a cell phone ringing from the rubble, but the houses were slated for demolition and were likely empty. I’m sitting on a rubber moon and I’m trying to imprint in my memory a view that I’ll never see before – the view of the water on the city under water.
It is an hour after noon and we are swimming in the flooded Karlno. The water dropped by about a meter and the pool only reached a height of one meter. It is a brown flower, clogged with branches and garbage that the current washed away from overturned garbage cans. It reeks of rot, mud and leaked diesel.
ivel reduced two houses to a pile of rubble. Plastic sky hangs on the trees, chunks of mud harden and harden, window panes in the streets have not withstood the pressure of the water, the entrance door sways on the surface. A short distance away, in Pernerova street, he licks up the spillage of two cars that someone forgot to evacuate. Drain the oil from the cars and spill over the surface.
Let’s swim with Kvty asopis photographer Petr Merta. He has 24 hours to get his passports from his apartment in this flooded lot, without them he and his wife can’t go on vacation to Croatia. When they evacuated us, I thought we would be moving soon. I’m not going to miss my paid vacation, explains the reason for the trip on the raft to the interior of Karlno.
The mork of the wall clearly indicates the age, the Vltava rose into it, the inscriptions on the shop signs disappeared under the muddy drift. I will tie up the raft for a moment – my bare feet fall into the stinky mud.

A few minutes later we are at the house. I’m afraid that I won’t open the front door and walk through the entrance to the house. In a moment, my passport will be honored. We saw a police helicopter and several pelts over our heads. So maybe they won’t chase us. But I think I would explain it to them, k.
As inflatable boaters, we are not alone. a face that should be a spirit evacuated by the city, surprisingly eats. In Bezinov, a dissident and the chairman of the Alamoun association, John Bok, will start. Leaning out of the window on the first floor, he shouts: I’m going to sue Pieda and Gross for violating the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Here, people have destroyed apartments and they didn’t even allow them to grow their property up to the top floor. Don’t miss anything: there has never been such peace here. I’ve been here all day and I’m happy.
Flood 2002. Karln
It was about a meter long with foamy water only in a few fords of about 1000 years. I was at nvtv and now I’m going home, he explains naively with a shrug of his shoulder, where he got there and where he’s trying to get to, in the city he’s supposed to be abandoned.
At St. Pernerova, we have a large group of Roma children, the youngest of whom may be 3 years old. They are obviously happy about the flooded streets.
Joy about the situation in Karln, but don’t have the fire department and the police. Skim the water and look for debris. People are so stupid, they started crawling out like rats, and when that ship fell, that’s why you’re afraid. Just like that, you just add to the lost work, not to mention shaking your head a few hours later, the fireman who, in Karln Ptr with his colleagues, is looking for disobedient residents and pointing to the rubble.
The building was slated for demolition
Seventh, near the fire station, about a hundred meters from the fire station. The building in Kikov street felt like a house of cards. Only one back wall remained from the building before the flood and was ready for demolition, pieces of furniture can be seen in the kitchen. The walls were built around the pile, because the firemen can’t go anywhere other than on the moons – the water in this part of Kikovy street, right next to Karlnskho nmst, still reaches up to two meters.
The photographer and I want to make some treasures. No, you can’t. The gas could explode there, one of the firemen would refuse our pleas and send us back to the dry land in front of the Carlsbad theater. There, by the water, it fell away, leaving only a layer of gooey mud.
There was no one in the house. There was a dog handler there, and he didn’t find anyone, so there should be no people, according to Petr Karek from the emergency motorized unit of the republican police. Just like his fellow firefighter, he believes in the irresponsibility of the Karlsruhe. Meanwhile, a group of evacuees arrived. I don’t know, I could easily go there for the day. I don’t know what the madman is, he scatters with his hands a small stand, which the two-meter-high fire dog first carried over a huge field of mud. It always subsides after a while, hold on to the flooded streets of Karlsruhe for a long time.
