A flash flood at Arizona’s Grand Canyon wipes out infrastructure and leaves about 20 people missing, according to reports. Video shared by outlets shows fast-moving water sweeping away footbridges over Bright Angel Creek.
The flooding starts around 2:30 pm on Saturday and affects Bright Angel Creek, a tributary that flows into the Colorado River. The water significantly alters the local landscape, with damage described along the creek’s crossings.
Across the reporting, the main points converge on the timing, the affected creek, and the visible destruction. Coverage differs in emphasis on the scale of the damage and the location details, but all accounts describe sudden water release consistent with flash-flood conditions in the Grand Canyon area and the resulting missing-persons situation.
