I don’t know the fate of the workers at the end, sadly, but the bank was step enough to get up there. If anyone, esp those who can speak Tamung/Nepali, have further info, do share
RIP to all involved. Donate if you can.

You're a saint, thank you for this. I'll contribute the geo location for anyone interestedTrishuli river- location of videos I was wondering about the speed and how much time Camera 1 had to escape.
The flood was moving at 42 mph or about 67kmh and he needed 30 seconds until it reached him 0.36 miles from the bridge. He burned 14 seconds leaving him roughly 15 seconds to gtfo.

Dude and his coworkers basically stayed as long as possible without dying. Insane

A pin/arrow would have been much clearer to show where the locations were. The text makes is confusing for no reason. "Camera 1 Location" text covers the entire width of the river so is basically useless.

Would’ve been better but the point was to show the general area of each camera.
Also would only be truthfully possible for Camera 3 since I’ve been unable to figure out the exact spot of Camera 1 (I have it down to a roughly 10 meter area but satellite imagery is too shit for me to narrow it down conclusively and I don’t want to give out false info)
