A damaging glacial outburst flood recently struck the Himalayas, specifically in the nation of Bhutan. At least several structures were damaged, but thankfully this October 29th 2026 disaster caused no fatalities. Today's video discusses the extent of this outburst flood, and why it may have taken place through the opinion & analysis of a geologist. Note: Since I was unable to license any images of the Bhutan outburst flood on October 29th 2026, I am using an image a pre-2026 flood in Nepal. As of the writing of this video, the flood specifically caused by the October 29th 2026 glacial outburst flood has already ended.
