> A glacier collapse in Nepal set off a cross-border disaster chain, sending a devastating mudslide toward Gyirong Port in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region and downstream areas. The flow covered 20 kilometers in about seven minutes, dropped nearly 3,300 meters in elevation and averaged 50 meters per second.
