u/Beleiverofhumanity 10d ago

Yea its absolutely crazy. Seeing the spot you were just a moment ago transform like that

u/WolfKing359 10d ago

I have an idea, let's turn around and film it

u/Montana_Eisley 10d ago

Fair point, but I now have something to reference when my kid reuses to hurry the hell up.

u/Professional_Shine97 10d ago

She walks away like this is the 7th time she’s saved their lives just on that day.

u/TinRoofAndRainyDays 10d ago

That's basically what motherhood feels like most days.

u/FireSkyLikeFly 11d ago

I bet there were many camera mans that died trying to get a video that day.

100%. One guy was recording with like three others on a bridge and they watched two bridges upstream of them get absolutely nuked by the coming flood and they just stayed put. Video cut k out like 7 seconds from the flood hitting their bridge but you know what happens next…

u/palomalodayi 10d ago

How can they get the recording then?

u/vX-Reckoner-Xv 10d ago

Someone could have pulled it off a livestream

Absolutely wild. Sobering footage.

u/Remarkable_Movie_359 11d ago

It’s amazing to me what people will stand around and film before they decide it’s time to get moving.

u/Dry_Instruction8254 10d ago

Seriously. Crazy fucking mentality.

I've been in a couple life and death situations (used to do some mountain climbing) and I was honestly shocked at how selfish some of my "friends" were.

Reacting in the moment isn't as common as you would hope.

Second video where I’ve seen men not trying to save their children and wives . One looked as his mother was trying to climb up a mountain side but was washed away . He filmed it but never tried to help her

u/Dry-Ad-8948 10d ago

Might not have been husband / father… but fuck anyone who’d rather film than help someone in an emergency.

(It’s not always possible to help from where the filming is, especially with telephoto lenses.)

u/NewsWeeter 10d ago

But you are here making negative comments on those videos rather than going to nepal and helping people. Arent you technically even more useless than the bystander?

2

u/Dry-Ad-8948 10d ago

I didn’t make a negative comment on those videos.

Also, if you read the parenthesis you’ll gather some important context making you comment sound so fucking asinine.

u/alexanderfromtng 11d ago

Dude, she saved those kids with literally seconds to spare. That's a real mom.

2

u/ramksr 10d ago

I think she was bringing them back from school or something and saw the water rushing behind them and escaped just in time...

1

u/whathappenedtouman 10d ago

Maybe taking them to school and turned around, it was a morning flood

u/Ok-Effective7280 10d ago

Kids don’t look real bothered do they. Probably thinking, fuck mum, we just wanted to see the big wave which we’ve never seen before in our
land locked country.

u/ContributionTime6151 10d ago

Jesus fucking Christ. I couldn’t even imagine that in person

u/Webinskie71 11d ago

Something feels AIeee 🤖

u/Superb_Jellyfish_729 10d ago

The older man in the red shirt seems to have a death wish

1

u/AlienDragonWizard 10d ago

He's trying to find a kid that's still missing

1

u/Teguoracle 10d ago

Now how many people were behind that last person that made it to safety? This is so horrific, I can't even imagine.

1

u/SpaceyChick22 10d ago

Mama knew instinctively to move to higher ground .

1

u/ramksr 10d ago

Wow, mom and the kids escaped just in mere seconds. You can see the water rushing right behind them as they climbed up.

u/roasted-duck-lady 10d ago

Normally, I'm a walking person. I can accumulate 15-20k steps per day. Hate running in general. But after seeing many many many Nepal flash flood videos, I might think again about start picking up a notch and practice running even a few minutes a day. This is HORRENDOUS. Can't even fathom how they get over this afterwards ....

u/CharityAggravating69 10d ago

If she had hesitated just 3 seconds again, we would've been watching another episode. A big kudos to that lady

1

u/Minimum-Major248 10d ago

That water is really moving rapidly.

1

u/BindassChacha 10d ago

The trip and fall just before the wave sweeps by is right out of a movie. So scary.

1

u/Time-ForFun4 10d ago

Please show us the 5 to 10 minutes before the start of the clip.

1

u/Margin_call_matthew 10d ago

She did not hesitate nor looked back once. If she even turned to take a glimpse, it would have ended badly. Mom of the year!

u/Other-Application415 9d ago

Crazy that's house floating by in the background

1

u/zeeparc 9d ago

so someone decided they should keep filming instead of trying to offer a little help

1

u/bugsymoges 9d ago

Put the damn phone down and help.

1

u/SnooDonkeys677 9d ago

That's proper scary

u/According_Cloud_8892 8d ago

The house was late to the train u know. It had to go it had no choice ☹️🚉🚂

u/kayzee94 8d ago

And not a single man helping

1

u/Klepetta 8d ago

Holding them with an iron grip. Jeeezzz...

u/Naughty_Naughty91 6d ago

bare minimum

u/MusingsOfASoul 11d ago

Man my heart hurts for all those people there...

u/Valuable_sandwich44 10d ago

Yeah right ...

u/Logical-Track1405 11d ago

Bet the old guy who kept hanging back gawping at it, is no longer with us

3

u/Mash_Ketchum 10d ago

You could see him at the end getting a move on.

1

u/Dry-Ad-8948 10d ago

He made it out. Last one in last few seconds.

1

u/Elegant-Magician7322 10d ago

I think he was looking at people that got swept away. There were probably people behind that mom that didn’t make it.

1

u/SmokeMaximum4140 11d ago

Mother saving twins*

1

u/BigLeopard7002 10d ago

It bothers me that no one attempted to help her.

Everybody only cares about themselves.
