Authorities in Nepal and China say more than 700 people were killed
in catastrophic flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border, with more than 3,000 others still missing.
For the first time, China has released the nationalities of 261 missing foreigners, including 18 Americans.
NPR's Jennifer Pak reports dozens more U.S.
Citizens remain unaccounted for on the Nepalese side.
Officials called for a moment of silence at a press conference in Tibet on Sunday.
Then Su Pangcheng, a researcher at the Chengdu Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment,
said this disaster started when a massive chunk of ice broke off a glacier.
It sent a rush of water, ice and mud to smash through the Jilong-Raswa border checkpoint.
The whole thing took less than seven minutes, he says.
There was no time for warning or to flee.
The floods continued down to Nepal.
There, authorities gave the nationalities of the missing very early on.
In contrast, Chinese officials took five days to do the same.
