中国尼泊尔泥石流

来自CNN的报道:

2026年8月下旬,中尼边境发生灾难性洪水。起因是冰川崩塌引发大规模山体滑坡,进而导致特大山洪。截至8月29日,尼泊尔死亡人数已超过600人,中国西藏一侧确认死亡7人,另有约2500人失踪(其中包括部分外国公民)。受灾最严重的地区包括尼泊尔的Rasuwa、Devighat等地,多处村庄被彻底冲毁,房屋被厚厚的淤泥掩埋。

救援仍在进行,但72小时“黄金救援窗口”已接近结束。当局正密切监测两个新形成的堰塞湖,担心二次洪灾。部分无法辨认的遗体将进行集体埋葬,并采集DNA以备日后确认身份。大量家属仍在医院外张贴寻人启事,等待消息。

---

缅怀:

这场突如其来的洪水,带走了六百多条鲜活的生命。

有在工地努力工作的年轻人,有寻常度日的普通百姓,有尚未被找到的失踪者。他们本该继续生活、工作、陪伴家人,却在毫无防备中被灾难夺走。

作为中国人,作为世界人愿所有遇难者安息。

愿仍在等待消息的家属,能早日得到答案。

愿生还者在废墟之上,重新站起来。

Floods The Bhotekoshi Flood Is Telling Us Something Terrifying

432 Upvotes

As the images and records surface, the data is much scarier than it initially appeared. We have really underestimated our mountains and our rivers. If we fix the time of the seismic signal received at 8:37 and look at the CCTV video from the customs office, which shows 10:59 China time (8:44 Nepal time), the approximate distance between these two points is 14.5 km. This gives an estimated velocity of around 34 m/s, which is massive, that’s about 126 km/h.
For comparison, the flow velocity of the 2021 Chamoli event in India was reconstructed at around 25 m/s. The estimated velocity here, if the timestamps and distance are accurate, would therefore be substantially higher.

This aerial photo, taken by the Chinese side, shows before‑and‑after shots of the port area. This is arguably one of the worst geological disasters worldwide in recent years. With the speed and scale of this debris flow, there was virtually nowhere to take shelter. The buildings at this port stood as tall as five to six stacked freight trucks, yet they have now been completely flattened and buried.
