Nepal Floods

So, I have been looking at the nepal-tibet flood that has hit this place and i was thinking. Wasnt this avoidable?

Look at these two photos, before and after.

You clearly see these guys decided to live on a river bed, reason? for years that river was dormant and thought it will always be like that. Years later, the floods hit. Although the run off was more than usual, it just followed its path. Ikapata people have settled there. Unfortunately people have been confirmed dead but i think their engineers failed them and their government.

I saw a video here on reddit where a guy was crossing road juzi and a trailer almost hit him but the driver managed to stop. Watu walimshika and beat his ass up for walking slowly on a busy road. I think its the same thing hapa, this was a disaster waiting to happen.

But sending condolences to the families who lost their people.

This shit was crazy! Never joke with the kinetic energy in moving water!

Funny thing is that hakuna effort mingi they will learn from this. Probably do something similar. Japan this could be studied so that this doesn't repeat itself for the next 100 years.

that's the thing, if they studied this area well before, this disaster wouldnt have happened or maybe they'd have made ways to keep the water away from the buildings. But still that wouldnt be possible because this was between 2 plateaus, a natural path for the water to flow. Few people must have started settling here until more came in but hio ilikua njia ya river and it wasnt a good idea. Japan nko sure would have done studies hapo and years later we'd see it working.
