Deadly Flash Floods Kill 800, China Censors Videos
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
The headteacher's quick thinking saved lives, but China's censorship hides the full scale of the tragedy.
💡 Why it matters
This disaster highlights both the heroism of local responders and the suppression of information in authoritarian states.
Flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border have killed nearly 800 people, with thousands missing. A headteacher saved 900 children by evacuating them to higher ground, while China has censored videos of the disaster on its internet.
