The first authentic footage of the Nepal earthquake and subsequent Base Camp avalanche has emerged from Mount Everest. The 2:27-minute YouTube video, apparently shot by German climber Jost Kobusch, shows two men filming and marveling that, 鈥淭he ground is shaking.鈥 But fascination soon turns to horror. In the distance, several figures can be seen running. The cameraman then looks to his left and sees the explosive cloud of snow and ice that鈥檚 about to swallow up Base Camp. The men duck behind a tent and are engulfed by the cloud as they shout, 鈥厂肠丑别颈脽别.鈥 From looks of the video, they were on the downvalley side of the avalanche and were coated in rime but spared the brunt of its force.
