A 30-second AI-generated video shows the formation of the mudslide that hit Gyirong Port on the China-Nepal border. The disaster was triggered by a glacier collapse in Nepal. Ice and rocks fell and slid down, dragging debris and turning into a flow that entered the Gyirong Zangbo river, becoming a massive mudslide.
