- description: A river raged through a section of downtown Montreal as a water main break Monday flooded a section of the city core.The flood spread near McGill University near rush hour, prompting traffic jams as police rerouted cars and people struggled to escape the area. Some people wrapped themselves in garbage bags to protect their lower body from the ice-cold water as they crossed submerged streets. At one intersection, where the flooded area was narrow, people moved a sidewalk bench and used it as a bridge to get to the middle of the street. The water barrelled down the slope of Mount Royal, with some people struggling to avoid being swept away by the mighty current.
