  1. It's all part of the world wide depopulation agenda. You can die by vax or entombed in mud in Nepal or smoke inhalation in Maui or drown in a man made super storm in Appalachia or you can be genocided in Gaza. Let's keep ourselves divided so the elite can continue to kill us off as per the Georgia Guidestones so that they and their descendants can have what's left of the Earth natural resources and their NWO where if you're NOT dead already you will own nothing and be happy. Who loves being a gullible naive sheep? Can I get a We Do We Do.

  2. I learned lots thanks I have never seen anything like this in my life praying for all those who lost their lives families loved ones and relatives hope the Nepal Tibet and Chinese people who got affected will get on their feet soon and stay away from the rivers sides because I’m expecting more of these disasters in the near future 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  3. This is a fantastic and detailed investigation and explanation. I'm still trying to understand whether the volume and velocity of water was proportionate to the glacier bedrock breakdown. I hope @shawnwillsey will have another update explaining the same.

  4. We have no natural predators as humans are the most intelligent organisms in existence. But nature has a way to keep us humble by bringing forth crazy natural disasters. Insane.

  5. Cant remember if it was the initial landslide/glacier collapse OR the subsequent collapse of the "dam" that formed in the valley, but an article i read said the energy was equivalent to the Hiroshima nuclear bomb 🙁

  6. I'm just catching up. This looked horrific. There has to have been thousands lost in this. That footage from high up, where you'd think they'd be safe was terrifying that it came right up to the camera. I know you've posted a couple of follow-up videos which I'm about to watch. I hope it's not as bad as I fear.
    Thanks for your coverage of events like this, presenting the science and evidence, and not superstitious nonsense or crazy conspiracy theories.

  7. On July 8, 2025, a similar glacial lake outburst caused severe flooding, and the Resuo Bridge was washed away at that time.
    The location of that event, Coordinate A (28.4026°N, 85.6467°E), is less than 20 km from the site of the recent disaster.
    Looking at the earthquake statistics around Coordinate A over the past five years for events above magnitude 3 (M>3), there appears to be an increase in seismic activity in 2026.
    In theory, this suggests that there may have been an opportunity for earlier monitoring, risk assessment, and preventive action.

  8. Idk, thats a lot of water to have come from solid ice in that distance. Yes mud, rock, vegetation as well. I understand a degree of melting through friction. But ive seen some huge avalanche events. All were snow up top an still snow and ice at the bottom.. dont know, just suprises me.

  9. Hahaha, this must be Shiva’s divine miracle. Shiva knows what China has done to India. At this juncture, Prime Minister Modi should join forces with India’s allies, the United States and Japan, and order the Indian military to immediately launch a full-scale war against China, occupying its western and southern regions. Jai Hind!

  10. MURDERED HUMAN BODIES attracting a murder of crows to feast on is a sick n twisted fact-This was done by the elite via technology called HAARP, as part of the depopulation agenda. Now if you'll excuse me I'm due for my 9th booster shot because even though my eyes never saw a pandemic, the TV says otherwise and I'm not dumb enough to to trust my eyes over the TV.
