> Experts say catastrophic flooding in Nepal and Tibet was likely triggered by a massive glacier collapse and debris flow, not an earthquake. At least 273 people have died and more than 1,300 remain missing along the Nepal-China border, while destroyed bridges and damaged roads are hampering rescue efforts.
