Terrifying Footage of Everest Avalanche

UNBELIEVABLE

Watch the unbelievable footage of the Everest avalanche.

One can only imagine the horror of being caught in an earthquake the magnitude of which struck Nepal on Saturday, leaving thousands dead and wounded and a swath of destruction that will continue to unfold for days. A new video has emerged showing the base camp at Everest at the very beginning of the quake, but the filmer’s attention quickly turns to horror as a wall of white ice barrels down upon the encampment, ultimately killing nearly 20 people and severely injuring dozens more.
