Lisbon Floods Disaster 1967

Star Item

Description

Lisbon, Portugal.

Various shots in and around Lisbon after severe flooding hit the city. Cars lie half hidden by mud and wreckage, some lie heaped on top of one another. People salvage what they can from their homes while firemen pump out basements into the muddy streets.
