Avalanche Kills 15 Nepali Workers Preparing Himlung Himal Base Camp
An avalanche struck the base camp of Nepal's 7,126-metre Himlung Himal mountain in Manang district, killing 15 Nepali workers preparing the site for foreign climbers. Rescuers recovered 15 bodies, with one person still missing, though chances of survival are slim.
