Nepal-Tibet Floods Flood Tunnel: Engineer
Nepalese hydropower workers recounted a sudden flood as water from the Trishuli River inundated a tunnel during last week's devastating heavy rains, resulting in over 1,000 deaths and around 4,000 missing. Many workers, including Pemba Dundu Tamang and colleagues, narrowly escaped the flash floods, which caused extensive destruction at hydropower sites and led to the loss of several family members. Rescue efforts are ongoing at affected tunnels, with concerns raised about insufficient early warning systems and the potential impact of glacier instability on the disaster.
