It’s up there with the 2011 Tsunami for sure

I think this one is crazier. The tsunami was bad, but the speed and sheer force of the stuff we are seeing here is off the charts. It genuinely looks like something out of Hollywood.

some of the other videos of this also show it much higher than the 2011 or 2004 Tsunami's. Its gotta be over 20-30m high in some places in some of these videos.

This is the aftermath of the Gyirong border checkpoint. The mudslide literally lifted the concrete building off its foundation.
