Cyclone Amphan tore through West Bengal on Wednesday, 20 May, leaving a devastating wreck in its wake, structures at the Kolkata airport, too, sustained damages.
At least 12 people died in Bengal as winds at 120 km/hour and heavy rain left a trail of devastation.
Visuals from the Kolkata airport showed a flooded tarmac, runways and hangars. In one area, the roof seemed to have caved in.
Pictures of the city airport taken a day after being hit by the cyclone show the extent of the damage.
The storm, which weighed as much as 40 tons, was also moving due to the storm. The wheels of the planes were fastened with screws. The plane was still moving.
The torrential rains caused by Cyclone Amphan submerged most of the Kolkata airport and caused severe damage to the airport.
The coastal areas of Bengal have been badly affected by the storm. In many places, uprooted trees caused severe damage to vehicles and houses.
