Insane flood in Nepal

Yes, unfortunately it was a glacial landslide. RIP to those killed.
How do you know?

It looks like China built a giant reservoir above the dam projects and the retaining walls failed.

Early reports from Nepali officials initially suggested an earthquake in the area could have caused the lower part of a glacier to collapse and trigger ‌the floods. But the US Geological Survey later said what was initially reported ‌as a 4.4 magnitude earthquake was a seismic shock generated by glacial rock and ice collapsing and the flow of debris. “No earthquake had occurred.”
 
Yeah, the landslide caused the earthquake, not the other way around. I'm sure a geological survey of the area will reveal the truth in the next few days.
 
Horrible tragedy man. I watched some videos that were insane, like you would see in a movie. Heartbeaking stuff and it will take a long time to assess how many people were killed.
