15 climbers who survived an avalanche caused by Nepal’s worst earthquake in 81 years arrived in Katmandu. Six helicopters landed at their base camp after weather conditions improved overnight. “I ran and it just flattened me. I tried to get up and it flattened me again, ” George Foulsham, Singapore-based marine biologist, told AFP at base camp.
“I couldn’t breathe, I thought I was dead. When I finally stood up, I couldn’t believe it passed me over and I was almost untouched.”
