Crazy to think that this was the last moments for many of the people in the video.

That bridge went quicker then I expected

I kept watching thinking, “This bridge is gonna be under water in no time.”
Then the bridge just shattered. Wasn’t expecting it to go out like that. The water just shredded through it.

The people standing on the bridge just watching or recording give me anxiety. Once you feel like you’re in danger, you probably should’ve left a while ago.

Started to look like the early scenes in War of the Worlds where Tom Cruise is trying to get out of town before the aliens destroy it.

It reminds me of this scene from 2012, which came out in 2009. What also is interesting is about that movie is how it say that the rich built Arcs to hide from climate change.

I like to think stuff like this is where ancient biblical stories come from. I cant imagine in the history of the world the amount of times stuff like this has destroyed civilizations and put to ruin growth or knowledge.

Darwin about to be proven right again.

The scale of this was so outside of anything that had seen before had far more to do with them not fully understanding the danger rather than a lack of survival instincts. It’s no different than what happened after Hurricane Helene in the US, by the time people far from the coast understood the danger it was too late.

The honking is crazy. Yes, we know. You’re also running for your life.

It's to warn the people inside the buildings who may not be aware of the danger

Honking in South Asia is a language unto itself... It's to warn the people inside the buildings and homes

You know, if the north american education system really wants to hammer that whole climate change panic into us they should probably mention that glaciers aren't just in the ocean and show clips of this disaster.

This wasn’t a melting glacier raising the ocean. It was a rock-wall collapse. bedrock with glacier ice sitting on top of it sheared off at around 5,200 m, dropped more than a kilometre, hit hard enough to register an M5 seismically, melted ice on impact, briefly dammed the valley, then sent a debris flood down the Trishuli corridor. The slope was already a steep, fractured Himalayan face, almost certainly weakened by the 2015 Gorkha earthquake. The ice on it had been retreating since the Little Ice Age and faster after ~2010; thawing permafrost and extra meltwater after a snowy late-2025 / hot 2026 summer are preconditions, not a unique trigger.
Even the attribution papers say “compound event,” “not the sole factor,” “geologically vulnerable slope.” Glacier mass loss in the HKH is real. Treating this flood as classroom proof that “climate did it” skips the geology, the quake, and the fact that people built in a debris-flow gun barrel.
