Apparently its close to the Chinese border, where upon their side, they have deforested a lit, resulting in this mass tsunami flood.


There are no forests & never have been up there.  Roll Eyes



Oh? JaSin was there in the 90s. Look how much rainforest they've cleared.

If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand.

My error. The report of cause by the Chinese side and deforestation was one of the first claims out as to why.

In truth though, I the 90s. Landslides were common.
I even had to traverse across one that was a week old.

It happens in NZ. Due to sheep mostly.

She made it a man vs woman thing.

Which it's not - it's just an opportunist lowlife thing & very well could have been a poverty stricken woman doing it.

The men were arrested 130klm away from the river system this flood disaster came down.

Sophia - Her hair colouring should have been a dead give away as to where she may have taken her video. Grin

Grin What a lame response to your own ignorance.


Well, you want to bring up a nearly 2 year old issue inside a topic about a landslide and flooding that has killed over 1000 people. The lame posting is yours.

And you had to recount & make excuses again for the whole 2 year old issue.  Grin

My response was applicable seeing you were speaking about topography & geography.

Then making the lame comment -"you (Gnads) should have been over there bellowing out instructions on harm minimisation re: flash flooding."

I never claimed any expertise in that field ..... do you?

It wouldn't surprise me you might think so going by your previous/past expressed fantasies.  Grin

Gnat, you equate missing a turn off to go back to Rockhampton as something relevant in the topic of people who died in a flash flooding event. The casual indifference you have to the death of large numbers of people is concerning. I knew a married couple, who were from Nepal. They were quite distressed about the 9000 people that were killed in the earthquake of 2015. And it is likely that they have relatives caught up in dealing with the flooding.

Wow, I don't know much about Nepal's topography. But my question was to do with implying how many other countries are going to put up with the flooding downstream?

I don't believe you are an expert in anything other than sociopathy, Gnat. There is a show called "Have you been paying attention" on Monday nights on channel 10. The host and quizmasters make fun of a bunch of topics. But if the topic is a matter of life and death, they dispense with the jokes and take the issue seriously. Maybe try to emulate that aspect when it comes to topics like Nepal's disasters.
