WATCH: Another Massive Flash Flood in Nepal Destroys Bridge, Wipes Out Homes

A flash flood triggered by a landslide blocking the Budhi Gangraki river in Nepal has resulted in at least five missing people, destroyed a bridge, and washed away homes. Residents were evacuated as the flood damaged or destroyed four bridges, around three dozen houses, and a hydropower plant construction site, while army personnel worked to rescue stranded individuals. This event follows a similar massive flood in August caused by a glacier collapse, which led to significant loss of life and widespread destruction.
