@cbcnews: A collapsed glacier in Nepal caused catastrophic flooding that killed more than a thousand people, while thousands more are still missing. Andrew Chang breaks down what accelerated the flood to such a violent degree and how factors like the scale of the Himalayan mountains and the region's climate make prediction and monitoring so challenging. #Nepal #Flood #NepalFloods #CBCNews #AboutThat

Finally, a professional explanation. I was so enraged with the people who said why no early detection. Like, you expect to put the sensors all over the Himalayan range

If only the world spent trillions of dollars protecting humans/nature instead of killing humans in war. Maybe monitoring systems like that would be a lot more “Practical”

I used to live in a flood zone and when it rained a lot we'd get a phone call or email warning before the rain began. if you live in a flood zone every rain day should be a warning

Thank you. You're the only major western media outlet to talk about the next disaster being inevitable, and methods that may help in preventing the next one from being so deadly

Except the world over, why build where flood waters might go. The low point between mountains is a bit if a give away don't you think. Will they spend billions to build in the same place?

Swiss level glacier tech in Nepal is way too expensive to pull off alone. Since Nepal’s carbon footprint is practically non-existent, international climate grants should be picking up this tab.
