Watch: Terrifying Moment When Avalanche Hits Everest Base Camp Caught on Video

Jost Kobusch seems calm when the video begins, if a bit worried: “The ground is shaking.” Soon though, fuck becomes the German climber’s most frequent word as a wall of snow comes down on him. Kobusch and another climber manage to duck behind a tent. “The ground was shaking from the earthquake and as soon as we saw people running we were running ourselves to save our lives,” notes the description of the YouTube video.
