OSLO, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- A dam at a Norwegian power plant partially collapsed on Wednesday, after extensive flooding caused by storm "Hans".

The dam in Braskereidfoss, about 150 km northeast of the capital Oslo, spans Norway's longest river, the Glomma. An unexpected deluge caused by a technical malfunction on Wednesday morning prevented the dam's floodgates from operating properly.
