Gone in seconds: Horrific Nepal flood videos show sweeping destruction

A devastating landslide struck the China-Nepal border in Tibet's Gyirong county on Wednesday, causing major casualties and leaving several people missing at the Gyirong Port. Devastating footage showed people scrambling to safety as a massive wall of mud, water, and debris swept through the border crossing within seconds, tearing through roads, buildings, and infrastructure.

Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered an all-out search and rescue operation, and China has sent about 200 rescuers to the site, along with geologists, engineers, heavy machinery, reconnaissance drones, 3D laser scanners, and life-detection equipment. The destruction disrupted trade and transportation routes, with the death toll rising as authorities assessed the full scale of casualties and damage.
