Episode Details

A flash flood tore through Nepal last Wednesday, narrowly saving over 900 students and 16 teachers at Tribhuvan Trishuli Secondary School after a frantic 14-minute evacuation triggered by a warning from the school’s accountant. Rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake, the school was obliterated by a wall of mud and water—now just a riverbed. Chaos erupted as classes were interrupted, parents raced in on motorbikes, buses were rerouted, and even the old bridge collapsed moments after the last bus crossed. The accountant saved his father but lost his mother when he returned to their home; one staffer remains missing. Praised as a hero by parents, the headmaster’s quick action spared hundreds, while the community now turns its focus to rebuilding the school safely elsewhere.
