  2. Many thousands of people must have been affected
    This has been an out of the ordinary flash-flood
    The retreat of glaciers exposes unstable slopes that were previously covered in ice
    Steep slopes without the ice that stabilized them have a high risk of producing landslides

  5. I wonder when China will release footage of this mystery unnamed glacier & it's collapse…??? 🤔🤔🤔
