🇳🇵 We may finally have a clearer idea of what caused Nepal’s deadly floods.
Satellite images now show that the lower part of a glacier may have broken off and fallen about 1,200 metres into the valley below.
That massive ice-and-rock avalanche then sent water, mud and boulders rushing through the rivers below. In one area, the water reportedly rose around 30 feet in just 30 minutes.
Now what caused the glacier to break is still unclear. An earthquake was earlier suspected, but experts are looking at other possible factors too.
Nearly 100 people are already confirmed dead and more than 300 travellers are still missing.
We’re finally getting some answers, but there are still hundreds of families waiting for theirs.
