The disaster occurred on Wednesday, when the collapse of masses of material in a high-altitude area triggered a sudden and exceptionally powerful flood.

The powerful torrent of water, mud and ice rushed down through the valleys at great speed, sweeping away homes, multi-story buildings, bridges, roads, vehicles and energy infrastructure.

Footage released from the moment of the disaster shows a massive surge of water and mud advancing toward populated areas as residents desperately try to flee to safety. Some were unable to escape and were swept away by the powerful current.
