2400+ DEATHS Estimated | Nepal FLASH FLOOD! (Latest Updates)
A catastrophic flash flood has devastated Nepal after a massive collapse high in the Himalayas sent ice, rock, mud and water racing down the valley with almost no warning.
Scientists examining satellite imagery believe the disaster began when part of a glacier and the mountain beneath it suddenly collapsed. The event was powerful enough to register on seismic instruments like a magnitude 5.2 earthquake — even though no earthquake triggered it.
Roads, bridges, settlements and hydropower infrastructure were destroyed. Thousands of people were reported missing or out of contact as rescue teams struggled to reach communities cut off by the disaster.
Unlike a normal monsoon flood, there was no major rainfall warning beforehand. The collapse began high in the mountains during clear weather, leaving communities downstream with almost no time to react.
In this video, we cover the latest updates, explain what scientists believe caused the Nepal flash flood, examine new footage from the disaster and follow the ongoing search and rescue operation.
