00:00Good evening, welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening?
00:03Today is Wednesday, the 26th, 28th, 26th, 26th of August, 20th, 26th, and 13th, Rabi Al-Awal.
00:12Again!
00:14Those with weak hearts don't need to continue this final episode,
00:18because in it, I'll be showing you leaks and secrets of what happened every now and then.
00:48What's Happening?
00:55All of us have heard about the massive flood, or for those who didn't see the last episode,
01:01the huge flood or deluge that targeted the Tibet region.
01:06Tibet, on the Chinese-Nepalese borders, and specifically the flood.
01:13Of course, as soon as it arrived, a flood happened, and the deluge occurred,
01:18destroying several villages and a number of towns along its path until it reached the Tibet region in China,
01:25specifically the port area.
01:28From here, Jirog Jirong in the Tibet region, and this area is the border area, Sini Bini.
01:35Okay, so what caused this flood, and what was its purpose for some people?
01:40Again, some footage that documents, let me, for example, remind you of this shot.
01:46Look, at the people during the flood, when it reached the port.
01:51And, in general, there were a lot of tourist buses at the port.
01:56Of course, the flood swept away the tourist buses and the means of transportation.
02:02And it drowned the tourists who were trying to get off after they heard the very loud roar of the
02:09water.
02:10A very powerful sound of the water roaring.
02:13People started running, trying to save their lives in any way.
02:17But there was no refuge today.
02:20No refuge today.
02:21The flood, the deluge.
02:23He told them all, just as you can see in front of you,
02:27insisting on showing you this clip again for a moment,
02:31the arrival of this flood and the people it swept away and the cars it swept away
02:37and the people who weren't and the tourists who were still actually in these big buses until now.
02:44Of course, we want to get to extremely important information.
02:49Yes.
02:49So, first, I have 47 American citizens among these tourists are missing.
02:55I have 47 Americans, 201 citizens, 90 foreigners, meaning non-Nepalese,
03:03because the area is full of tourists,
03:06and 91, 299 citizens of different nationalities among them.
03:10Among them, 47 American citizens are still missing up to this moment.
03:16Of course, according to the Nepal Tourism Board.
03:19So, doctor, what happened?
03:22I was suspicious from the moment you spoke, but I said, let me make sure and do some research.
03:26I started to look, to check.
03:30And he continued that this specific area where the flood happened two or three hours ago
03:36was hit by an earthquake about 10 hours earlier, meaning 10 hours before the flood occurred.
03:44An earthquake had struck the area with a magnitude of 4.4 on the Richter scale.
03:53And this is the image of the earthquake.
03:56Oh, this is the image that proves this clear earthquake with a magnitude of 4.4 on the China-Nepal
04:02border.
04:02All right.
04:05What do you mean, doctor?
04:06Are you telling me?
04:07An earthquake struck 10 hours ago and an earthquake of 4.4 magnitude.
04:12A 4.4 magnitude doesn't cause a tsunami, even though this flood looks like tsunami waves.
04:18No, this flood itself is like the tsunami waves.
04:21But 10 hours earlier and a 4.4 earthquake, what would tsunami experts say about that?
04:26We know, because we've been following you for a long time, that a tsunami doesn't just happen.
04:31The earthquake has to be at least 7 on the Richter scale, and it has to be a destructive earthquake.
04:36No, be careful.
04:38Be careful here.
04:40An earthquake of 4.4 struck.
04:43The 4.4 earthquake caused it.
04:47A glacier collapse occurred, which in turn led to a flood, was catastrophic in that river
04:56over there, called the Bodakoshi River, the Glacial Avalanche.
05:10Huge chunks of ice fell into the river near the Nepalese border and blocked the river.
05:17Massive pieces of ice fell into the river and blocked it over time.
05:26I said that the earthquake struck four hours earlier.
05:30Huge chunks of ice came down into the river, blocked the river, and with the heat, the ice
05:35chunks melted.
05:37They were originally blocking it, and behind them, the river was flowing.
05:41Instead, because the river was blocked, before the ice melted, they were acting as a barrier,
05:47and behind them, huge amounts of water were accumulating, and the flood happened, and this historic flood
05:54occurred in the world.
05:56So, an earthquake led to an avalanche, then a flood, then a deluge that swept away many
06:05cities and villages in its path.
06:09Imagine what happened.
06:11Imagine what happened.
06:12Imagine what happened, and there is also information saying that the earthquake may have caused another
06:18flood from a different glacial lake, meaning that the earthquake also destroyed another
06:23glacial lake.
06:27Then the weather changed, and the phenomenon of the super monsoon came, and actually the
06:33temperature rose.
06:34So, this also added to the deluge, resulting in this massive amount of rainfall.
06:41The number of victims has risen to 100 people so far.
06:46Look, you read a lot.
06:48Now, some news is saying that there are 1,000 missing, but what's confirmed so far is that
06:55there are 410 missing people, and since they're missing, it's hard to imagine that anyone survived
07:01this flood.
07:02So, most likely, they are victims.
07:061,000, people are saying 1,000, but it's not officially confirmed.
07:12410.
07:12Okay, 410.
07:14So, what's their story?
07:15Let me see what I have.
07:16According to the latest statistics on the missing, I'm talking about the missing 47 Americans.
07:22Missing, which means they might become victims.
07:2447 Americans, 33 British, 133 Indians, 61 from Nepal, and the rest are distributed among
07:32other nationalities.
07:42Let's go, for example, you and I, and see the first moments as it began.
07:47The flood, because it hit a distant area.
07:51Look, some people managed to survive and climb the mountain at the last moments.
07:56This is one of the most dangerous videos you are seeing.
08:00Look, they climbed the mountain in the last moments.
08:06Well, the flood reached them, which means it was only a matter of moments.
08:10They managed to save themselves and escape up the mountain.
08:13That's survival.
08:14Glory be to God.
08:15It's like the flood of Noah, of course.
08:17Noah's flood was much bigger than this.
08:19But this is just a small example.
08:21How did they climb the mountain at the last moment?
08:24And, of course, there were people who didn't make it up, so they panicked, and the flood
08:29took them away.
08:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:31Unfortunately, the rest drowned, some people.
08:35Tanji was fast because she climbed the mountain before the flood arrived.
08:40We're witnessing something very, very moving.
08:45Now, many roads have been cut off.
08:47Power networks are down.
08:49Communication networks are down.
08:50So that's why the information coming from there is scarce.
08:54A state of emergency has been declared in Nepal.
08:57And as we mentioned, there are reports saying that 1,000 people, or maybe more, are missing.
09:03We're trying to get information as it comes.
09:07But let me go to this clip and this catastrophic video that you and I are about to watch together.
09:12But you haven't told me yet.
09:14Is it possible, doctor?
09:15There should be a reason for a river, for such a huge river.
09:20There should be something to regulate it.
09:22If there was heavy rainfall, it wouldn't be regulated.
09:27The water is regulated.
09:28If there's a lot of water, the gates are opened.
09:31Two gates are opened.
09:32There really was a reason.
09:33Everyone, just as I expected.
09:36But didn't the flood and the deluge destroy the dam and tear it down because it was a dam, for
09:43example?
09:45It's designed to withstand a certain amount of water, a specific volume of water.
09:51But what came through was many times greater.
09:54So the dam collapsed and the flood continued on its way, just as you can see on the stream in
10:01front of you.
10:02Even at the dam, some workers who were behind the dam said the dam was blown away, the dam was
10:08destroyed, the gates were destroyed, and the flood continued, continuing on its path of destruction.
10:16The disaster is that the flood hasn't ended yet, the catastrophe, as they say, is that the flood could return
10:23and happen in other places.
10:25We will keep you updated on this global disaster step by step.
10:32Go ahead.
10:33Go ahead.
10:33I said I'm with you.
10:34Ahmed Eldera is well known, but I don't know exactly what's happening with him.
10:37I'll see you later.
