Nepal flood was glacial collapse, not earthquake — and a second flood may follow
At least 160 people died after glacial rock and ice collapsed into a river on the Nepal-Tibet border, the USGS determined — not an earthquake, as Nepali officials initially suggested. Experts warn a lingering upstream river blockage could trigger a second flood. China has mobilised nearly 800 rescue workers; the Red Cross is dispatching body bags. Hundreds remain missing.
