Episode Details

A catastrophic glacial collapse in the Himalayas has unleashed a wall of water and debris, leaving nearly 3,000 people missing and over 680 bodies recovered—some possibly carried into India. Rescue efforts are underway as Nepal’s army inserts a pipe into a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydroelectric site, where more than 100 workers may still be alive; air is being pumped in, with excavation set to begin soon. Entire villages lie in ruins, survivors desperately searching for loved ones amid unimaginable loss. The U.S. has pledged $3.6 million in aid, while Nepal seeks drones, tech, and forensic tools to locate survivors and identify remains—reconstruction could cost billions. In Tibet, rescue operations paused due to flood risks from a new lake, but it has since drained naturally, allowing work to resume focused on finding the missing and delivering urgent relief.
