  1. if we only knew
    Best problem solving minds would not have let this get exponentially out of control over the last 60 years.

    We're like a kid who is cramming for an exam the next day but hasn't done any work during the school year. First Principles – Good Luck.
    The population of Nepal is 38 million and they're ALL affected by this.

  2. I wonder what makes them believe these power stations downstream are not submerged in the floods and expect to find life here after more then 5 days. It would be a miracle to find any life after seeing all the destruction it has caused in the rest of the places.

  3. The courage of the rescuers and people helping in any way is beyond belief. Bless you all! May you find many survivors and sending love to families and friends of the missing. ❤️‍🩹
