@chinagk_dus: CGTN Unpacks China-Nepal Border Mudslide: Glacier Collapse Flattened Gyirong Port in 7 Minutes. At 10:52 a.m. Beijing time on August 26, a glacier collapsed high in the Himalayas. Within six to seven minutes, the ice-rock avalanche flattened Gyirong Port in China's Xizang Autonomous Region and continued surging downstream into Nepal. Chinese rescuers pushed in by land, air and water to reach the port through a canyon where the road was gone. CGTN's special report traces the disaster from glacier to gorge.
