There’s just no preparing for that kind of power being unleashed. Holy hell. :/

Never seen anything of the sort apart from the Tsunamis in Japan and Indian ocean.

This event is the "big brother" of what happened in Italy in 2022 with the Marmolada glacier collapse which was tiny compared to this. Additionally, the orography in Tibet/Nepal is much more dramatic (higher elevations, steeper slopes, narrower valleys).

I am really astonished by the videos circulating online.
