Meteorological officials in Vietnam have labelled the typhoon as “one of the powerful in the region over the past decade”.

Footage shows several hotel workers desperately holding tall glass doors shut.

Outside the wind almost replicates a river as the gales rush past the doors, carrying various debris in it.

As the wind’s speed appears to pick up, more staff join in to help keep the massive doors closed – but struggle.

The two middle doors begin to open ajar before one woman gets hit by a door due to the sheer force of the storm.

Meanwhile the door on the right completely opens as another member of staff rushes to their colleague’s aid to attempt to shut it again.

Some workers even start filming the dramatic outside scenes as they desperately hold the door shut.

Experts have warned that deadly Yagi will continue to cause intense damage as it moves westward.

The powerful storm has wreaked horrific havoc across regions – leaving a whopping 1.5 million people without power as winds were up to an unbelievable 126mph.

At least 44 people who died in Vietnam were killed in landslides and flash floods, the ministry of agriculture and rural development says.

Among those tragically killed were a 68-year-old woman, a one-year-old boy and a newborn baby.

Roofs have been torn off buildings, trees have been pulled from their roots and irreversible damage has impacted infrastructure and factories in the north.

Due to the storm, nearly 50,000 people have been evacuated from Vietnam’s coastal towns as authorities warn residents to stay indoors.

Schools were also temporarily closed in 12 northern provinces like Hanoi.

More tragic images show a collapsed bridge in northern Vietnam after it got hit by the super typhoon.

The Phong Chau bridge in Phu Tho gave way on Monday, terrifyingly plunging several vehicles into the waters below.

A whopping ten cars and two scooters fell into the Red River from the bridge collapsing, says Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc.

Desperate searches for 13 people were carried out.

At least three people have been rescued, BBC reports.

Before the deadly typhoon hit Vietnam, Yagi left 24 people dead across southern China and the Philippines.
