CBS News’ Ramy Inocencio is in Nepal, where thousands of people are reported missing following catastrophic flash floods and landslides, triggered by the collapse of a rocky ledge and the vast portion of a glacier it had supported. Some experts have raised concerns there could be more flooding from lakes at risk of overflowing, although Reuters reports those risks are manageable. #nepal #flood #rescue #news

Experts believe an avalanche triggered by a glacier collapse caused the devastating flash flood in Nepal. But how glaciers collapse in the first place? We speak to Dr C Scott Watson, who leads the Glacial Lake Observatory for Flood Hazards Impacted by Climate Change at the University of Leeds.

A massive glacier collapse near the Nepal-China border may have triggered a devastating flash flood and scientists are now investigating the exact chain of events. A huge section of ice reportedly collapsed thousands of feet into a river valley, carrying ice, rocks and debris into the river system. Within minutes, this material helped generate a powerful flood wave that raced downstream at extraordinary speed. The incident highlights a growing concern in the Hindu Kush Himalayas: climate change is causing glaciers to lose ice and may be increasing the instability of some mountain environments. The exact cause-and-effect chain is still being investigated, but the warning is clear: the climate threat in the Himalayas isn't just melting glaciers. A sudden glacier collapse can potentially turn into a catastrophic flood within minutes. #nepal #NepalFlood #flood #climatechange #globalwarming

DEVASTATION: 🚨 New VIDEOS emerging of the absolute destruction in Nepal and surrounding areas. A glacier collapse on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, triggered catastrophic flash floods and debris flows along the Nepal–Tibet (China) border. A sudden surge of ice, rock, mud, and water tore down Himalayan river valleys (including the Bhotekoshi/Trishuli system), burying settlements, destroying roads and bridges, and damaging hydropower sites. Rescue work has been hampered by wrecked infrastructure and a temporary risk from a barrier lake that later overflowed at a more manageable rate.

A massive glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border has triggered catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides. On Wednesday morning, an enormous chunk of ice snapped off a high-altitude glacier, plunging over a vertical kilometer into the valley bottom. Glaciologists report that this massive ice avalanche blocked the Lhende Khola river, a tributary of the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers. The temporary dam rapidly failed, releasing a towering, apocalyptic wall of water, mud, and heavy debris that violently tore through downstream mountain settlements and border facilities.

Gyirong Port on the Nepal-Tibet border is confirmed to have been completely annihilated by yesterday’s glacial flash superflood. Located 12.2 miles (19.7 km) downstream of the Himalayan glacier collapse that created the flood, it is possible there are no survivors here. This CCTV footage recorded at the port last night will likely go down as some of the most extreme and spine-chilling footage of a flash flood ever captured by humanity.

This looks like a movie. So terrifying. May God help us. According to reports, at least 547 people have been killed in Nepal and 5 in neighbouring Tibet after catastrophic flash flooding triggered by a massive Himalayan glacier collapse on August 26, 2026. Emergency crews are scrambling to locate more than 1,400 missing people, including hundreds of foreign tourists. The disaster has caused widespread chaos across north-central Nepal. The main areas affected are Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts, along with communities along the Lhende Khola and Trishuli river corridors. What caused the disaster? • Glacier collapse: On the morning of Wednesday, August 26, an enormous chunk of glacier broke off high in the mountains on the Nepalese side of the border. • Seismic force: The ice plunged roughly 7,000 feet into the river valley, triggering a massive debris flow. The impact registered as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake on automated detection networks. • Wall of water: The resulting mudslide and displaced water sent a colossal wave down the Lhende Khola river valley, instantly obliterating everything in its path.

Scientists now believe the catastrophic flash flood on the Nepal-China border that left more than 353 people dead and over 1,300 still missing was caused by a 2,000-foot-wide chunk of ice that broke off a glacier and fell to the valley below. This is known as a glacier collapse. The immense block of ice plummeted 4,000 feet down, pulverizing on impact and mixing with mud and rocks to create a fast-moving, 250-foot-tall wall of debris that tore through riverside settlements at speeds of 44 mph. The sheer force of the landslide was so immense that it generated a 5.2 magnitude earth quake. [The initially video I shared, which has been taken down was from a different glacier collapse that occurred in Chile].

For those wondering why Tibet and Nepal are witnessing such devastating floods: extreme rainfall, rapid snow/glacier melt, and steep mountainous terrain can combine to turn rivers into raging torrents within a very short time. 🌧️🌊 The result can be catastrophic—flash floods, landslides, destroyed roads and bridges, and communities suddenly cut off. Nature’s power in the Himalayas is truly terrifying. 🙏

NEPAL FLOOD, INDIA'S WORRY: CURSE OF LOWER RIPARIAN STATES Devastating flash flood waters originating in Tibet, Chinese controlled territory, have deluged Nepal. The flash flood originated in the Trishuli - Bhote Koshi river that originates in Tibet. No one knows the exact cause. Some speculate it could be due to an earthquake that struck a part of Tibet that stands opposite the Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts of Nepal. Tough there is no basis yet to conclude that Chinese authorities deliberately released water into the river's basin a group of anonymous Nepali journalists have blamed China. Or to be precise construction in Glacial areas along the China – Nepal border had damaged the sensitive ecosystem and contributed to recurring avalanches, which in turn triggered the flash flood. Many hundreds of thousands of people in Nepal and Tibet have lost their homes, several, including Indian tourists, are dead. But given that the Bhote Koshi–Trishuli system feeds into the Narayani/Gandak and eventually flows into the Ganga, West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Saran & Vaishali should remain vigilant. This may not become a major flood in India. But it's best to be vigilant. Which is why the Centre has issued advisories to Bihar. Indeed, this is the curse of lower riparian states. It isn't just Nepal but India also has to be extremely worried about water security risks from China. This is because China controls the upper reaches of critical transboundary rivers like the Brahmaputra, known as the Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet, and can potentially influence water flows through its upstream infrastructure, while India has limited visibility into what happens upstream. What's most worrying is that India and China have no comprehensive, binding water-sharing treaty. The Nepal floods are therefore a reminder of a larger strategic vulnerability: India is downstream of both Nepal and China. Natural disasters may be unavoidable. But India cannot afford to be unprepared for what happens upstream.

NEW: Rescue teams are racing against the clock in Nepal as they search for survivors after a wall of water, mud and debris tears through communities near the Tibet border. At least 65 Americans are among those still missing, according to officials in Nepal. "The floods came in suddenly and exploded like a bomb," one survivor says. Security video shows people with only seconds to react as the flood sweeps away vehicles, buses and buildings. Officials now believe a powerful landslide, potentially triggered by part of a glacier breaking off, unleashed an avalanche of ice and rock that caused the flooding. The Red Cross says at least 10,000 families have lost their homes, while buried roads and destroyed bridges are making some devastated areas accessible only by helicopter.

Satellite imagery suggests a massive ice chunk breaking off a high-altitude glacier may have set off a chain reaction that unleashed torrents of water to flood areas of northern Nepal and southern Tibet on Wednesday. “That sudden slippage released the equivalent amount of energy as detonating 950 tons of TNT explosive,” Matthew Cappucci (Matthew Cappucci) of My Radar explained to PBS News. The avalanche-like phenomenon — which did not appear to be linked to seismic activity — likely caused water from a glacial lake to surge into multiple river valleys in the region. At least 353 people were killed in the subsequent flash floods and landslides in the area. Hundreds more are reported missing.

Cause and direction of the Nepal disaster in a 3D map. A massive wave of ice, rocks, mud and floodwater travelled from the high mountains deep into Nepal, destroying roads, bridges, buildings and other infrastructure along the way. 1. Glacier / High Mountain - A lower part of a Himalayan glacier collapsed, sending huge amounts of ice and rock downhill. The exact cause is still being investigated. 2. Lhende Khola - The ice and rocks crashed into the Lhende Khola, triggering a massive flood filled with mud, rocks and debris. 3. Rasuwagadhi - The powerful surge reached Rasuwagadhi, around 20 km from the suspected collapse site, and entered Nepal. 4. Timure - The flood rushed toward Timure, sweeping away roads, bridges, buildings and vehicles. 5. Syapru Besi - The flood continued toward Syapru Besi, causing major damage to homes, roads, hydropower projects and other infrastructure. 6. Trishuli River - Carrying the flood wave deeper into the valley. 7. Further Downstream - The flood then affected areas including Nuwakot, Dhading, Chitwan, Gorkha, Tanahu and Nawalparasi East.
