The village’s 300 inhabitants had to leave their homes on 19 May after geologists monitoring the area warned that the glacier appeared unstable
Must be nice to not live in a clown country.
Pretty amazing to only have one person missing.
Obviously their houses are gone, but with that sort of early warning, they were probably even able to move most of their important stuff out in time.
Sadly enough, this will become the new normal. We, as a society, really need to look at the role oil and gas companies are playing and stop talking with them.
They are the problem, not part of any solution.
It’s actually insane how the oil and gas industry has hijacked the climate conferences and is controlling the narrative.
CO2 capture, hydrogen and a whole array of ‘solutions’ which are nothing but a distraction from the core issue; this is a criminal enterprise that’s a full-blown threat to humanity.
Blatten was flattened
The article made me think of this by using the word flattened in the first paragraph.
It was … wait for it … Blattened!
Similar thing happened in India in 2021.

Himalayas are younger mountains and they’re brittle as fuck. Yet the government insists on projects like highways, megatunnels, or dams in the area which may eventually lead to disasters like this.
those are made after the demand, Indian govt barely takes initiatives to make projects
Blyat!
