A wall of snow is seen flattening part of Mount Everest's base camp during an avalanche triggered by Nepal's worst earthquake in decades.
Dramatic footage showing the avalanche was posted on YouTube, a day after the magnitude 7.8 quake hit Nepal, killing more than 3,200 people across the country.
At least 5,000 people have been injured and potentially millions displaced in the worst natural disaster to hit the Himalayan nation in more than 80 years.
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.
Sad!
