Donald Trump Trapped in Flood Caused By His Panama Hotel
DESPERATE GUESTS USED TRUMP LOGO AS FLOTATION DEVICE
The following is from BBC’s Tim Rogers in Panama City:
“Lightning cracked and rain slashed violently against the windows as US tycoon Donald Trump and Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli cut the ribbon to open the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower.”
A “torrential downpour flooded the streets’ overworked drainage system, turning the peninsula into a swamp island …. Hundreds of construction workers coming off the building sites on either side of the Trump hotel were stranded …”
“It was unbelievable and he got caught in it,” Trump Ocean Club developer Roger Khafif said the following day. “Everybody is upset.”
“The incident was symptomatic of a city that has grown faster than its infrastructure.”
