The origins of this catastrophe can be traced back to the Himalayas, where a glacial collapse unleashed a torrent of rock, ice, and meltwater into the valley below, subsequently triggering a powerful flood downstream.

这场灾难的源头可追溯至喜马拉雅山脉当时冰川崩塌导致大量岩石、冰块和融水涌入下方山谷进而引发下游的强洪水

由此引发的洪流碎石倾泻而入流经西藏尼泊尔山谷河道致使水位骤然暴涨。

As the floodwaters swept through, homes, structures, roads, and bridges were utterly destroyed, while mud and rock were carried along, hurtling downstream with relentless force.
