This 3 min video of Nepal Flood, captures what became the last 3 mins for a many people in a small city and Trishuli Bazar.
Everything disappeared in a flash. People, old and young, ran wherever they could, trying to escape the raging and imminent death.
Schoolchildren ran som were still inside buses some running on the strret,as panic spread through the market. Shopkeepers and residents had little time to save anything. Houses, shops and vehicles were swept away, leaving behind mud, broken structures and scattered belongings everything floting like a paper boat.
For many, everything they had built and owned was gone in the blink of an eye. People ran for life, while tryingbto look back, watching helplessly, as the bustling market got buried completely.

In 1997, a developer publicly told Steve Jobs he had no idea what he was talking about. Jobs paused, then answered a question nobody had actually asked
The developer's question was an insult wrapped in a technical challenge - asking Jobs to explain Java against OpenDoc, then adding: "Perhaps you could tell us what you personally have been doing for the last 7 years."
Jobs didn't defend the technology.
He didn't attack the developer either.
He agreed with him first.
"People like this gentleman are right in some areas," Jobs said. He admitted OpenDoc probably did things nothing else could do. He admitted the demos would look impressive.
Then he pivoted to the actual question underneath the insult: how does any individual piece of impressive technology fit into a vision large enough to sell $8,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 of product a year?
Here's the framework he laid out live, under pressure, with no preparation.
Start with the customer experience. Work backward to the technology. Not the reverse.
"You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to sell it."
He admitted he'd made that exact mistake - building from technology outward - more than anyone else in the room. "I've got the scar tissue to prove it."
Then he made the abstract point concrete with a story from over a decade earlier.
Apple built the first small laser printer in the US. Inside the box: the first Canon laser engine on American soil, custom controller software, Adobe PostScript, AppleTalk networking. Genuinely groundbreaking engineering.
None of that was the pitch.
Jobs held up the printed page and said: "Do you want this?"
Nobody needed to understand PostScript or AppleTalk to answer that question. In 1984, before laser printing existed for consumers, the answer was an immediate, involuntary "yes."
That's the whole model. The technology enables the outcome. The outcome is what you sell.
Jobs closed by conceding something most executives never say in public: "I readily admit there are many things in life that I don't have the faintest idea what I'm talking about."
Then he defended his team anyway - engineers being offered 3 times their salary elsewhere during the hottest hiring market in Silicon Valley, and staying.
"Mistakes will be made along the way. That's good, because at least some decisions are being made."
He didn't win the argument by being right about everything.
He won it by being right about the 1 thing that mattered: start with what the customer wants, then build backward.

Now targeting Friday, July 24 for Starship’s thirteenth flight test, due to weather.
A key objective for the flight test is to get clear imagery from the ground of Starship’s heatshield as it flies at a higher dynamic pressure during ascent, which won't be possible with today's weather conditions. Visibility is forecast to be ideal for a Friday attempt.
𝕏 is a great platform for product announcements, especially if done by the CEO directly. Way more interesting to the public than generic press releases.
