95 already confirmed dead, 3 US citizens among the missing.
The videos going viral are like a depiction of the Biblical flood, as hundreds are missing and many more are feared dead in Nepal.
The catastrophic flash flooding materialized as a massive surge of water descending from the mountains and destroying a border crossing building, as dozens of terrified people can be seen running for their lives.

The New York Post reported:
“The mudslide is believed to have been caused by a wall of mud and rock that collapsed into a river on the Himalayan border between Nepal and China-controlled Tibet, resulting in catastrophic flooding on the Nepali side that has left at least 72 people dead and over 300 tourists missing.
Though the horrifying disaster is still unfolding, initial reports suggest the floods could be the result of an avalanche triggered by an earthquake, Nepal’s foreign minister Shisir Khanal told the country’s parliament Wednesday.”

Sky News reported 95 people already confirmed dead, with 300 tourists missing.
“Expert warns of second flood – as glacier landslide suggested as cause. It’s still early after the flash floods struck Nepal, but preliminary findings from climate groups suggest a landslide from a glacier was the main cause of today’s events.
The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) said there was a 4.4 magnitude quake around seven minutes before CCTV footage showed mud and water destroying buildings in Gyirong (see 12:40).
Qianggong Zhang, at the Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, also suggested that an ice-rock avalanche in the Lhende Khola river on the Nepali side was the trigger.
He also sounded the alarm about an aftershock: ‘With a blockage still lodged upstream on the Nepal-China border river, authorities warn a second flood may occur’.”
Houses and a bridge were swept away in seconds:
