Rescue teams rushed to find hundreds of people missing on the Nepal-Tibet border in flash floods and landslides that killed at least 160, according to AFP. Many of the missing are foreign tourists, officials said of the disaster that wiped out entire villages. The death toll appeared likely to rise. A clip of surveillance video from the Chinese side of the frontier shows a raging wall of mud and debris crashing over a building several stories high on Wednesday morning, engulfing it as dozens of people run for their lives below. The surge sweeps away buses and cars like they are toys.
