Devastating Tornado Wreaks Havoc in Bangladesh
1989 Manikganj Tornado: A Tragic Event
On April 26, 1989, at approximately 18:30 local time, a devastating tornado tore through the Manikganj district in Bangladesh. With estimated wind speeds of up to 200 mph (320 km/h), the twister left a trail of destruction in its wake, leaving countless lives shattered.
The tornado struck without warning, leaving little time for residents to seek shelter. It ripped through homes, schools, and businesses, leaving them in ruins. The district hospital, which was a vital lifeline for the community, was also severely damaged, hampering efforts to provide medical assistance to the injured.
