In Nepal, a man walked through a market warning people to flee from an imminent mass of water that was approaching. The warning did not come through a siren or a text message, but through the desperate shouts of this person who alerted hundreds of inhabitants about the danger.

The man managed to save hundreds of lives by running through the market warning the residents about the arrival of the water. However, when he went back to try to rescue his mother, it was already too late, as the water had already taken her.

The article describes this story as a testament to the devastation caused by floods or glacial avalanches in Nepal, where traditional warning systems failed and individual intervention was crucial in minimizing the number of victims.
