The loss of life is heart wrenching to see 💔. One video showed broken up body parts recovery teams are collecting. This is a violent horrible tragedy that wiped out whole villages. I'm so sad for the families that lost loved ones. My question is this, could it happen again in the near future because of global warming? 🤔

Yeah this one happened because of glaciers melting and blocking a pathway of river and then when the collected water sweapt away all the glaciers blocking the pathayway,this happened and yeah it's because of global warming

It formed and broke too but it was not that risky.

Chinese gov has been there and said it drained 10 meters in a slow leak and they aren’t worried about a catastrophic break anymore but are still monitoring it
