What happened

Well supportedReported by 29 independent outlets

Flash floods swept through communities along the Trishuli River in Nepal after a glacier and its bedrock collapsed into a river valley. The collapse triggered 30-foot-high waves of boulders, water, and ice that surged for miles downstream. The disaster resulted in the destruction of 70 bridges, miles of highway, and buried 12 hydropower plants under mud and boulders.
