New exclusive footage obtained and verified by The New York Times gives the clearest view yet of the Aug. 26 Langtang Lirung collapse that triggered the catastrophic Nepal–Tibet floods.
Hikers heard a huge crack before ice, rock and debris plunged into the valley, throwing up an enormous dust cloud.
Another video captures debris racing downhill immediately after the collapse—the beginning of the disaster that would devastate communities downstream.
Ive been working on a map locating social media videos of the Nepal floods and avalanche:

BBC: “Shocking footage isn’t being shown in China.”
Also BBC: loops the CCTV that came from a Chinese border camera.
The same videos have been all over Chinese social media, and the search for the missing has sat on the trending list for days. This was not some hidden tape BBC uniquely uncovered.
Chinese media’s basic ethical code is not to replay dying scenes for clicks. BBC stooped below even its own standard and used the tragedy for political gain.
I’m utterly disgusted.

Nepal’deki sel felaketinin nasıl meydana geldiğini gösteren bir simülasyon:
Himalayalar’da bir buzul kütlesinin koparak vadiye düşmesiyle buz, kaya ve toprak nehir yatağına sürüklendi. Oluşan devasa su ve moloz dalgası, kısa sürede nehir yatağı boyunca ilerleyerek önüne çıkan her şeyi sürükledi.
