Trapped in Himalayan Floods | Charleston News

Hundreds of workers are feared trapped in flooded hydropower tunnels along the Nepal-China border after catastrophic flash floods triggered by a glacial collapse killed over 900 and left more than 4,700 missing. Rescue teams race against time to reach survivors in massive, oxygen-supplied tunnels—some housing as many as 576 missing workers—with families desperately searching for loved ones, including one father hunting for his son who was part of a group swept away near a Chinese immigration complex. On the Chinese side, a submerged road blocks access as authorities report 16 dead and over 500 missing, including foreigners. Scientists link the disaster to a bedrock collapse beneath a Himalayan glacier, unleashing deadly floodwaters across Tibet and Nepal.
