The 2015 Nepal earthquake (the Himalayan earthquake)[7][8] which killed at least 5800 people and injured more than twice as many as of 30 April 2015,[i] occurred at 11:56 NST on 25 April with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.8 or 8.1Ms[2] and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of IX (Violent). Its epicenter was approximately 34 km (21 mi) east-southeast of Lamjung, Nepal, and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 15 km (9.3 mi).[1] It was the most powerful disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake.[9][10][11] Some casualties have also been reported in the adjoining areas of India, China, and Bangladesh. India responded with Operation Maitri for rescue and relief in Nepal by its armed forces[12][13] and also evacuated Indian and foreign citizens from Nepal. The earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing at least 19,[14] making it the deadliest day on the mountain in history.[15] It triggered another huge avalanche in Langtang valley, where 250 are now missing.[16] Centuries-old buildings were destroyed at UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley, including some at the Kathmandu Durbar Square, the Patan Durbar Square and the Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Nepal's government has declared three days of mourning after the quake.[17] Geophysicists and other experts had warned for decades that Nepal was vulnerable to a deadly earthquake, particularly because of its geology, urbanization, and architecture.[18][19] Continued aftershocks occurred throughout Nepal, with one shock reaching a magnitude of 6.7 on 26 April at 12:54:08 NST.[4] The country is at continued risk of landslides as well. The earthquake occurred on 25 April 2015 at 11:56 a.m. NST (06:11:26 UTC) at a depth of approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) (which is considered shallow and therefore more damaging than quakes that originate deeper in the ground),[21] with its epicenter approximately 34 km (21 mi) east-southeast of Lamjung, Nepal, lasting approximately twenty seconds.[22] The earthquake was initially reported as 7.5 Mw by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) before it was quickly upgraded to 7.9 Mw and finally downgraded to 7.8 Mw. The China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC) reported the earthquake's magnitude to be 8.1 Ms. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said two powerful quakes were registered in Nepal at 06:11 UTC and 06:45 UTC. The first quake measured 7.9 Mw and its epicenter was identified at a distance of 80 km to the northwest of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Bharatpur was the nearest major city to the main earthquake, 53 km (33 mi) from the epicenter. The second earthquake was somewhat less powerful at 6.6 Mw. It occurred 65 km (40 mi) east of Kathmandu and its seismic focus lay at a depth of 10 km (6.2 mi) below the earth's surface. Over thirty-five aftershocks of magnitude 4.5 Mw or greater occurred in the day following the initial earthquake, including the one of magnitude 6.6 Mw.[23] earthquake cctv, earthquake cctv footage, earthquake cctv nepal, christchurch earthquake cctv, christchurch earthquake cctv footage, bohol earthquake cctv, haiti earthquake cctv, earthquake caught on cctv, videos of live cctv earthquake, earthquake video, earthquake videos caught on tape, earthquake video for kids, earthquake videos for students, earthquake video live, earthquake video footage, earthquake video for children, earthquake video game, earthquake video song, earthquake video Nepa,l earthquake footage, earthquake footage live, earthquake footage for children, earthquake footage Nepal, earthquake footage ground moving, earthquake footage compilation, earthquake footage 9.0, earthquake footage 2015, earthquake footage for kids, earthquake 2015 footage, earthquake 2015, earthquake 2015 nepal, earthquake 2015 stand up, earthquake 2015 trailer, earthquake 2015 comedy, earthquake 2015 philippines, earthquake 2015 movies, earthquake predictions 2015, big earthquake, big earthquake caught on tape, big earthquake in nepal, big earthquake coming, big earthquake in japan, big earthquake movie, big earthquake live, big earthquake in the world, big earthquake caught on camera, great earthquake, great earthquake 2015, great earthquake videos, great earthquake nepal, earthquake magnitude earthquake magnitude 10 earthquake magnitude and intensity earthquake magnitude 8 earthquake magnitude 9 earthquake magnitude comparison earthquake magnitude 9.5 earthquake magnitude 12 earthquake magnitude scale earthquake 9.9 magnitude big earthquake big earthquake caught on tape big earthquake in california big earthquake coming big earthquake in japan big earthquake movie big earthquake live big earthquake in the world big earthquake caught on camera massive earthquake massive earthquake caught on tape massive earthquake coming to usa massive earthquake footage massive earthquake 2014
