So are all the climber deaths and everest village destruction due to the avalanche itself? Were there multiple avalanches?

Thousands of avalanches and rock slides then shaking of centuries old buildings with no building codes. Base camp damage was caused by a ice the size of the U.S. Nimitz breaking lose over 2500 feet above at 500 plus mph. Air wave blew many tents with people in them off the mountain as well from Avalanche. Rock slides killed several others in base camp.
