> A massive chunk of ice that plunged thousands of metres from a glacier into a river is believed to have triggered catastrophic flooding in Nepal and Tibet. At least 180 people have died, more than 1,300 remain missing—including foreigners and pilgrims—and hundreds have been displaced across the Himalayan region.
