00:07It traveled at 50 meters per second.
00:11A towering wall of Himalayan ice, rock, and mud
00:15instantly erased an international border.
00:19It gave no warning and offered no escape.
00:22On Wednesday morning, August 26, 2026,
00:26a massive high-altitude glacial collapse deep in Tibet
00:31triggered this transboundary mega-flood,
00:34plunging four connected regions into absolute crisis.
00:39Girong County took the first brutal blow.
00:42The massive Girong Port Customs Complex
00:45was swallowed whole by liquid earth,
00:48and over 40 kilometers of roads were entirely erased.
00:52On the Chinese side of the border,
00:54five people are confirmed dead,
00:56and 558 remain missing,
01:00including 260 foreign traders and tourists.
01:04The colossal torrent then tore southward across the border,
01:09instantly fracturing the vital friendship bridge
01:12and slamming directly into Nepal's Rasuwa district.
01:16Within 30 minutes,
01:17river corridors exploded upward
01:20by an astonishing 9 meters,
01:22completely burying the international trading hubs
01:25of Timur and Sapru Basi
01:27under a mountain of mud.
01:30Following the river's violent path further south,
01:34Nuwakot district was next.
01:36Along the main Tresuli River,
01:38entire residential blocks and markets
01:41in Betravati and Tresuli Bazaar
01:43were submerged under thick, choking sediment.
01:47By the time the surge reached Dodding District,
01:50swamping agricultural villages near Galchi,
01:53the valley had become a landscape of absolute heartbreak.
01:58Across Nepal, the toll is staggering.
02:01At least 579 lives are gone,
02:05and nearly 2,000 people remain unaccounted for,
02:09including hundreds of foreign tourists and pilgrims
02:12who journeyed toward Mount Kailash.
02:15Worse, an unstable 2 million cubic meter barrier lake
02:20is already overflowing upstream,
02:22threatening a second catastrophic wave
02:25through all four shattered regions.
02:31Worse, an unstable 1,000 people remain unaccounted,
02:34Worse, an unstable 2,000 people remain unaccounted.
02:36Worse, an unstable 3,000 people remain unaccounted.
02:37Worse, an unstable 4,000 people remain unaccounted.

02:38The only 10,000 people remain on a good trip to New First Valley.
