204 ppl killed or missing. The event was a disaster not b/c it was big but b/c of location of infrastructure, which placed people in harm’s way. Social scientists & policy experts @disastrousComms & @upadhyay_cavita pieced together the tragic human toll. (pic @irfansalroo) 2/n
I first learned of the event in a tweet by @bhambrirakesh. In the days following event, there was a LOT of confusion about what happened (GLOF? “glacier burst”?). I summarized what we knew at the time, which was also included in @davepetley’s @theAGU Landslides Blog. 3/n
