Avalanche hits entire village in the Himalayas
The impressive yet frightening video of the massive avalanche was published by journalist Ieashan Wani on X (Twitter). The footage shows the powerful force of nature collapsing on the village's houses, making them look like toys compared to the huge cloud of snow. Despite the dramatic scene, there are fortunately no reports of damage or injuries. It can be assumed that the inhabitants of the Himalayas, the highest mountains in the world, are well prepared for such avalanche events.
Avalanche causes white cloud: residents suddenly in snowstorm
In the video, a man in a high-visibility jacket can be seen walking through the frame. The cameraman also starts running until suddenly everything around them is bathed in white. A man can only be seen vaguely in the snowstorm, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve.
Avalanches are among the most dangerous natural phenomena. The probability of survival is usually low when people are caught in the masses of snow on the mountain. However, there are certain precautions and Advice that can help survive avalanches. When avalanches hit buildings, the damage can be significant, although fortunately fatalities are rare.
