Himalayas avalanche sweeps away climbers in Nepal
This article is about a couple of European climbers and guides that has been struck by an avalanche in Nepal. The climbers were climbing Mount Manaslu when a ‘flood of snow’ hit them and killed what is believed, nine persons. The number of dead can though be higher due to the fact that they do not really know how many climbers it was in the party. It is said that five climbers have survived and have been rescued and flown to the hospital for recovery.
