The aftermath of Typhoon No. 10 wreaked havoc on Hanoi’s streets on September 30th, leaving many roads submerged in deep floodwaters. As the workday ended, countless vehicles stalled mid-road, forcing residents to laboriously push their bikes to repair shops.

Observations made by reporters that evening revealed bustling scenes at numerous repair shops along major streets, rivaling peak-hour traffic. Mechanics worked tirelessly at full capacity, yet struggled to meet the overwhelming demand.

Inside the shops, mechanics divided tasks efficiently—from spark plug removal and exhaust drainage to oil changes and full engine cleaning for severely flooded vehicles. Exhausted after long days, customers waited patiently, unable to return home until their bikes were serviced.

One mechanic explained, “Attempting to start a flooded engine can cause severe damage, costing millions in repairs. With such high volumes, we often have to keep bikes overnight to manage the workload.”

Meanwhile, some, weary from prolonged waits, reluctantly pushed their vehicles home, resigned to enduring the flood’s lingering hardships.
