Overview of weather and natural events around the World. What is happening in this world: natural disasters on the planet of Earth. The latest news about weather events and disasters.

The collapse of the bridge occurred in the Pakistani town of Hasanabad, Gilgit-Baltistan province. The collapse was due to a powerful flow of water in the Shyok River. Usually at this time of the year the river is shallow and quite calm. But in the last month in Pakistan and India there is an abnormal heat wave. Due to this heat, the Shishper glacier is rapidly melting, forming a high mountain lake. After this lake turned out to be overflowing, the water washed away the natural earthen barriers and turbulent streams of water rushed down the slope. But the collapse of the bridge is not the only disaster caused by the flash flood. Numerous landslides occur due to the erosion of high river banks.
