47 Americans Among Hundreds Missing After Catastrophic Nepal Flood

Catastrophic flash flooding in Nepal Wednesday killed almost 100 people and left hundreds more missing — including almost 50 Americans — as harrowing footage shows a massive surge of water descending from the mountains, sending dozens of terrified people running for their lives.

The flooding is believed to have been caused by a wall of mud and rock that collapsed into a river on the Himalayan border between Nepal and China-controlled Tibet.

At least 98 people were killed on the Nepali side and over 300 tourists were missing — including 47 Americans, officials said.
