Glacier Collapse Triggers Deadly Floods | Columbia News

Catastrophic flash floods have slammed Nepal and China, killing over 500 and leaving more than 1,500 missing as rescuers battle mud-choked debris and rising waters. In Nepal alone, death tolls hit 538, while China’s count climbed to five — though hundreds, including foreigners, remain unaccounted for. Survivors describe a “black storm” of water and earth, with one officer calling it a tsunami after losing 15 colleagues. Authorities brace for more flooding as a dam bursts and a barrier lake overflows. Scientists point to a glacier-triggered rockfall that unleashed a seismic wave and torrent, wiping out entire valleys in its path.
