straits times report as nepal-china floods not nepal-tibet
This only matters to China and other politicians.
Outside China, it makes no difference to normies. I can say Tibet as much as I want, it still belongs to China.
And we are outside China now.

As good as admitting all the missing ones are gone? Rescue operations seem to be over.

Expect them to update death tally from 17 to 500 ++ anytime now ( not including those from Nepal side)
they should comb the waters by using hydro equipment.

There were livestream just now at about 5pm and 9pm.

5 pm livestream could see the heavy equipment from the border crossing site. Left about few hundred meters.

The reporter in 9pm livestream walked to edge of the border crossing riverbank ruin. Got a relatively clean running shoe and a pair of sweat pant on top of the mud at 13 minutes, many fragments of clothing struck on the beam steel bars.

5pm


9pm

5 missing Australian in the nepal flood confirmed safe yesterday. One in nepal, one in china tibet, three outside the criss hit area. All of them not named due to privacy obligations. All did not contact families and next of since the disaster struck seven days ago

China's ministry of foreign affair said the missing australian in tibet was not in the epicenter of the disaster.

One of the missing australian spouse announced her husband dead on monday. Australia DFAT said it has not had any confirmation of Australian deaths in the region.

China authorites had previously said six Australians were missing on the tibet side of the border.

The catastrophe at the border crossing seems un-survivable. Might as well declare them as dead. Tiongs trying very hard to paint their rescue efforts as fast, efficient etc.... but it's all just wayang... There's nothing left to rescue.

7 days already, what can be rescued "at the surface" are already rescued.

Even similar to a 8 sty tall HDB building the pillars and foundations can be plucked right out from the ground. Even EF5 tornado might not be so power. There is nothing to rescue under any sort of rubble.

Simplified hydrodynamic modeling of the flood.
What he discovered is he had to dump 100 million cubic metres of water into the valley instantly.
Far from any normal flood.


This video said the water could be in the saturated soil layer on the valleys wall and riverbed. Just needs a large impact with enough energy to kickstart the runaway soil liquefaction flow at top of valley will continue until it reach the coast.

I think earthquake or landslide high in the mountain peak may also trigger valley soil liquefaction flow in other countries, not just places with steep mountain glacier.

From Articles

Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC Member of Parliament (MP) and Mayor of the North-West district Alex Yam has called out comments questioning the nationality of the nine Singaporeans who remain missing after the Nepal floods, describing the comments as "racist" and "heartless".

'Loud minority'
Comments questioning the nationality of the nine missing Singaporeans have been left on social media posts about the news.

Such comments have appeared on platforms such as Facebook and TikTok.

an Aug. 31 Facebook post, Yam listed the names of the nine missing Singaporeans, writing that "nine of our own" remain missing among the thousands still unaccounted for.

"A terrible tragedy. But scrolling through the comments, I found something else equally difficult to stomach," Yam wrote.

He went to quote some of the comments, which include, "they don't look Singaporean", or "just import more".

"While families wait desperately for news of their loved ones, a loud minority of people apparently looked at the names and faces of those missing and decided that this was the moment to ask whether they were really Singaporean," he continued.

Some comments went as far as hoping that "people remain stranded or die" or questioning why Singaporean authorities should help, according to Yam.

He should come EDMW, there is alot more here

Singaporeans mean Singapore Nationals. What's there to question?
