Only chance is to climb the mountain. No way possible to try running away down stream.

Yeah, in some of these other parts of the world waterfront property is the cheaper property.

What an idiotic statement. Did you say the same thing during the Guadalupe River floods last year? You think nature cares if a disaster happens in China versus Texas?

Well if you built a city at the bottom of mountains and an earthquake is possibly I guess the chances are pretty good this might happen. Unfortunately for this city and the people in it . IT HAPPENED


Keep this statement in mind if you end up getting hit by a hurricane in the future.

That looks like it had to have been a dam break. Thats a tremendous amount of water to be coming down all at once.

The power of water should never be underestimated. Their dam structures were overwhelmed almost immediately and the water just destroyed anything in it's path.

Trying to find a video I saw earlier, but it was of a construction crew working downstream of one of their dams. The gates were completely open and there was a crew and excavator nearby on higher ground. The video shows the flood water coming down, hitting the dam, sweeping it away and you see the crew running for higher ground. It was all over in a blink of an eye.

I wonder if the Nepalese ppl said the same thing after viewing footage of the floods from Katrina

Wait, no they didn’t. They probably were horrified and prayed to their Buddhist gods for peace and healing in the gulf coast

Watched those on X this morning. Kinda reminded me of the dude that knew he was dead when he filmed Mt. St Helen blowing up. Zero chance to survive that.

Found the dam being overwhelmed video. Near the end you can see it starting to come down.
