BISTRET, Romania - Seven thousand Romanians were evacuated overnight after a dam on the Danube was breached, raising the danger the swollen river would submerge their low-lying villages.
Officials said rescue teams were working round the clock to mend the dam.
The Danube remains at its highest level in more than a century in the Balkans, but heavy rains and melting snow were expected to further swell Europe’s second-largest river.
{Just a note - the Danube is referred to as the Blue Danube ya know }
Gendarmes and soldiers rushed thousands of people into trucks in southern villages around Bistret overnight, while some villagers left the area with belongings crammed in horse-drawn carts.
Three thousand people will be evacuated later on Wednesday, authorities said.
“They will take me to a school so I have a place to sleep. But who can sleep knowing his lifetime work is underwater,” an elderly man from Bistret told Realitatea TV station.
TV footage also showed young men playing soccer in Bistret and smoking cigarettes while watching gendarmes and soldiers rushing to fill the breach with sandbags.
“There are enough people there. If needed I will go to help,” a 20-year-old villager told private TV station N24.
Prime Minister Calin Tariceanu appealed to people in the endangered areas to help rescue teams reinforce dykes.
“I heard that some local people did not want to help. I can tell them that we are working to defend their houses and any additional hand is welcomed,” Tariceanu told the state radio.
Thousands of acres of farmland, as well as several ports and villages across the Balkans were already under water and torrential rains were expected to last in Romania until Thursday morning.
Around 4,700 people were evacuated in the Black Sea state over the past few days, mostly in southern Dolj county and roughly 600 houses were flooded and 170 destroyed.
More than 76,600 acres in southern Romania, a fertile region for wheat and maize farming, are underwater and officials said they would continue to submerge farmland to help protect populated areas in the east.

Clooney film cut by Gulf censors
George Clooney won an Oscar for his performance in Syriana
George Clooney's oil drama Syriana has premiered in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with two minutes of film removed at the request of government censors.
Scenes showing mistreatment of Asian workers in the Gulf and references to a late Saudi king were among those cut.
The movie has also opened in Egypt but is unlikely to be screened elsewhere in the Middle East, said its distributor.
