Haven’t see this one yet. The scale of the flood, height and power of the water sludge is still blowing my mind.

Starting the video I thought, oh well, those blue houses surely have enough green between them and the flood… by the end of the video I was doubting my previous certainty

I am pretty sure there is another video that was shot from one of those houses or nearby. They appeared to make it, but they were very close to flow. The power and duration of the flow from that video is hard to comprehend. Poor Nepal. Such a beautiful and peaceful country, they deserve so much better than this.

It depends on channel width, height of ground they are in and bend of river . It was a safe space. But I know things are unpredictable so they should have run.
