WorldNew 3D images reveal how the Gyirong mudslide unfolded

China’s Ministry of Natural Resources has released before-and-after 3D imagery of the mudslide around Gyirong Port. Experts say the disaster began with a glacier collapse in Nepal at about 5,140 meters, generating a debris flow that traveled nearly 20 kilometers in roughly seven minutes before striking the port. Severe infrastructure damage and steep terrain are complicating rescue operations.
