Horrifying footage captured the moment that a massive flash flood devastated the China-Nepal border.<\/p>\n

Video shows locals attempting to flee as a catastrophic flood, reportedly caused by the collapse of a rock wall into a river on the Himalayan border of Tibet, potentially triggered by an earthquake, slammed into the city. The disaster has left almost 100 dead and hundreds more missing, including 300 tourists. Officials indicate that 47 Americans are among those numbers, and the numbers could continue to rise as the tragedy unfolds.<\/p>\n
