CCTV shows people fleeing seconds before mudslide engulfs Nepal-China border crossing

CCTV footage in Gyirong, Tibet captured people trying to flee seconds before a massive mudslide engulfed the border crossing between Nepal and China on Wednesday (Aug 26).

Initial reports suggest that an earthquake in the area could have triggered an avalanche and caused the floods, Nepal's foreign minister Shisir Khanal said.
