Nepal-Tibet tragedy explained: ‘Ice-rock avalanche’ triggered flash floods
According to ICIMOD, a massive ice-rock avalanche was the primary cause of the catastrophic flash flood that roared down the Lhende Khola and Bhote Koshi rivers, wiping out everything in its path
Apocalyptic visuals are coming in from Nepal’s Rasuwa region. A sudden ice-rock avalanche struck near the mountainous Nepal-Tibet border.
A catastrophic flash flood roared down the Lhende Khola and Bhote Koshi rivers, wiping out everything in its path. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) says the magnitude 5.2 shaking was actually caused by a massive landslide and glacial collapse.
