Tragic mudslide in one of the most remote villages on earth. Over 350 dead.

Bottom of the article shows the village location.
EDIT: doesn't look like the Hindu Kush. See later posts

That first one looks like an ice dam collapse.
More global warming, just like the serac's on Everest.
The mountains are starting to fall apart as they thaw out.

EDIT: deleted link to YouTube video. Clearly a different avalanche
Glad you caught that. blue skies versus overcast.
What a tragedy. I couldn't even imagine how to deal with that.
