@BBCNews: Thank you for posting. Such stunning and heartbreaking footage. So many people had very little hope of survival. The current theory is a M4.4 earthquake (recorded by the USGS) generated an avalanche or a massive mudslide down into the river. Either way, this tragic event has likely taken the lives of so many people. My thoughts and well wishes go out to those affected by this tragic event 🙏
Our prayers are with you Nepal🙏
It's not Nepol it's Nepal you clown
OH Jesus Christ! That CCTV footage is horrific! I'm so sorry the those that have no doubt lost their lives. Truly devastating.
Very good job
😧😰 That's absolutely horrifying…….😭
🙏🏿
idiotic performative foreign woman in pink in pink 'news', emoting easily & cheaply, & selectively.
India will give them funds don't worry and you will never show that in your channel, idiots.
Like bbc never care about Britain what else they can do.
Mountain Tsunami !!!!!!!!
Big news goddess
Nepal and Tibetan. Our heart goes to them. Stay safe ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
YES JESUS CHRIST is coming son, but NOT yet, first the earth will shake, (labor pains) JESUS CHRIST IS MY KING OUR KING OUR GOD!
Ever CERN shut down! look what's happing world wide!
China did this. I heard from an independent YouTube channel that China has been building two huge water dams, and there may have been an engineering failure. However, the situation is reportedly being kept secret. There have also been rumors that the dams could fail at any time, potentially causing serious damage to neighboring countries.
May Nepal recover from this. Love from Malaysia.
Jesus Christ
According to U.S. Weather monitoring services, a 4.3 magnitude earthquake created a landslide that blocked the flow of the river and diverted it through the Gorge. Absolutely Horrifying event for those who were caught up in it. Thoughts to everyone and Rest in Peace to those who have lost their lives.
Tíbet is China.
😮
the hand of Gawd Smite Thee.
Last month nepali Hindu devotees demolished Muslim prayer places mosq..than now God send this one
Lord please intervene in Jesus mighty name
is it one of the unavoidable power of Nature or just another critical man made mistake while building a dam?
Because China’s massive dam-building and infrastructure projects on rivers originating in Tibet create serious environmental, economic, and strategic risks, Nepal should have been raising these concerns decades ago. Yet Nepal has rarely, if ever, openly blamed China. Now Nepal may have to face the consequences.
We should have woken up much earlier. Around the world, we are damaging our own home—Earth—and contributing to environmental destruction and natural disasters. Yet even this guy doesn’t mention any of that.Yeah, Nepali is Nepali—always begging with an outstretched hand instead of standing up and speaking for themselves.
Lord have mercy on humanity 🙏
this is a natural disaster!
Mistakes are human, how can you build inside a river bed? why should you live or create buildings in the river habitat? the earthquake happened, great loss of people , this is a real trap from mother nature 😢
All Tibetan must help and pray for our brothers and sisters Nepali 🙏
Thousands. The death toll will be in Thousands. We just can't catch a break at all.
May all the departed soul rest in peace.
This is the time, all the leaders of the earth come together and help
This is soo sad and catastrophic, my Prayers to the People of Nepal and Tibet.
From Allah we came and to Him we return.Condolences to all affected
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
Oh thank you for taking out the distressing images, NOT!!! What kind of idiot reasoning is that??? You removing people's choice is so stupid!!! I'd rather not watch such news, that's not news at all!!!
Commenting to promote the BBC coverage of this event, because American stations focus so much on how it affects *us*, not the Nepalese.
Sounds like Yungay, Peru 1970 all over again.
I hope it is not like the Aberfan Disaster. Not the exact same but like the governments knew about this but didn’t take action immediately which caused a massive disaster. No hate comment here.
