Nepal Quake: Mt. Everest Base Camp Hit By Avalanche

Dramatic footage shows wall of snow hitting base camp, as toll from Nepal's worst earthquake in decades hits 3,700.

 

The footage, posted by German climber Jost Kobusch, shows a group of climbers at the camp. They appeared relaxed as the ground started shaking, but the mood swiftly turned to panic as they realised a wall of snow, rock and ice was headed straight towards them.

 

After the avalanche hit, the dazed and confused climbers emerged and began to look for other survivors in flattened tents amid chaos.
