On several occasions, the authorities have recommended avoiding building houses near rivers or in areas where they naturally flow. However, many times necessity leads to ignoring these suggestions. But when climatic phenomena like the one being experienced in 2023 occur, the results end up being fatal.

Cameras captured the precise moment when a three-story house made of noble material collapsed from its base due to the force of the Rímac River. The images show how the foundation on which the house was built crumbled, as well as the columns.

The incident occurred during the morning of Thursday, March 16, in the Pablo Patrón Cooperative in Chosica, to the astonishment of the onlookers.

It is known that the family living in the three-story house managed to escape before the collapse, which left them homeless. They were also able to retrieve some belongings and find safety.

"It's just sand now, the house collapsed, it's a tremendous loss, unfortunately we can't do anything against nature, we can only resign ourselves, keep our sanity, and not fall into desperation. We want the support of the authorities," said one of the victims in the area after witnessing the collapse.
