> An expert described Wednesday’s catastrophic landslide near the Nepal-Tibet border as a cascading hazard resembling a “Himalayan tsunami.” A detached ice block from above 7,000 meters may have triggered a rockslide that dammed the river and caused a sudden outburst, though no single cause has been confirmed.
