More shocking news from Nepal: another dam built by China near the Tibet–Nepal border has reportedly collapsed, triggering fears of a devastating secondary flash flood. Rescue operations have been suspended as terrified villagers flee to higher ground, while China evacuates the Gyirong border port.

This is the tragic human cost of reckless and irresponsible construction. Such projects can endanger the lives of millions, destroy homes and livelihoods, and tear families apart by snatching loved ones away forever.

Development can never come at the cost of human lives. Those responsible for decisions that put millions at risk must be held accountable. The world cannot remain silent while innocent people pay the price for reckless engineering and inadequate regard for human safety.

The deadly floods that have devastated parts of Nepal can be tracked all the way to the Himalayas where a "massive geophysical event" set off a chain reaction Wednesday, a geophysicist who studies such events told ABC News.

Scientists are pointing to a glacier collapse as a key cause of the deadly floods that have swept through parts of Nepal and Tibet. Live updates: https://t.co/niNswSEh07

This newly released video, captured more than 50 km downstream from the site of the glacier collapse, shows the rapid arrival of the flood wave, obliterating everything in its wake.

La inundacion de nepal se llevó por delante una represa entera ☠️☠️☠️

[Dr Balaji Balagani @BalaganiBalaji]

What happened?

1. 🧊 Glacier collapse: A large portion of a glacier in the Himalayan region broke away and fell into a steep valley.

2. 🪨 Ice + rock + debris: The collapse generated a huge debris flow containing ice, rocks, sediment and water.

3. 🌊 Sudden river surge: This rapidly increased the flow in the Lhende/Bhote Koshi river system, producing a powerful flash flood downstream.

4. ⛰️ Steep Himalayan terrain: Nepal's steep valleys allow enormous volumes of water and debris to travel very rapidly, making flash floods particularly destructive.

5. 🌡️ Climate change may contribute: Himalayan glaciers are retreating and thinning with rising temperatures, potentially making glacier slopes and glacial lakes more unstable. However, the exact contribution of climate change to this particular collapse is still being investigated.

Important: The seismic signal initially led to reports of an earthquake, but subsequent analysis indicated that it was generated by the glacial collapse and resulting debris flow, not a conventional earthquake.

More generally, Nepal is highly flood-prone because of monsoon rainfall, cloudbursts, landslides, snow/glacier melt, glacial-lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and landslide-dammed rivers.
