Wow the algorithm is just sending me incomplete avalanche videos now
Is no one going to mention that her name is also the perfect reaction to the situation: Holly Cowie!
That is funny
No not at all. Maybe I’m more tuned into other things
Sorry that’s not even remotely funny
"I remember... telling myself... holy cow"
Laughing, good one ;)
This video is not about the Everest avalanche(as it is titled), but the avalanche in Langtang valley in Langtang national park during the Nepal earthquake 2015.
Too many videos on here have false information
The earthquake that caused the Everest avalanche on April 25 is the same earthquake that devastated Langtang.
It’s not false information, research it yourself.
Same earthquake, different avalanche. Langtang Valley is about 100 miles away from Mt Everest and was much closer to the epicenter. As was Kathmandu, which was almost as close as Langtang, just on the opposite side. It caused avalanches/landslides on all of the mountains and absolutely devastated Kathmandu, with over 8000 deaths in the city alone. Rural villages were hit especially hard as there was no way to even get relief supplies to some of them for days bc the roads were destroyed and impassable.
But the worst hit, on ratio alone, was Langtang Village. The earthquake forced 40 million tons of rock, ice, and earth down onto the village. It was home to 400 people and many tea houses. Within seconds, over half of the village was dead and every single home and tea house was swept away. There was literally only 1 building left standing bc it had been under the cliff. These hikers were right past Langtang Village and were extremely lucky bc over 40 backpackers were killed as well.
In comparison, the avalanche at Mt Everest killed 19 people, out of the hundreds that were there. But we hear about that more bc a lot of rich people were in danger 🙄
My dad was the trekking guide of Holly and Axel. But this was in Langtang Valley not Everest when earthquake occurred in 2015.
Hope your dad survived this incident
Thank you
Most of the earthquake in 2016
Sorry I believe that the earthquake was in 2016 and took several lives
Link to a video or picture of your father guiding them or it didn't happen
I call these the best stories ever. They will never get tired of telling it. Trust me, within minutes of meeting new people they are telling this story.
"And we just waited." for what!???? for the snow to melt? finish the story!
Ya WTF... Dick move.
🙏👁👀
lol
for the episode to be over dude, what the fuck are you so sensitive about? sometimes using a little common sense goes a long way in popping your mysterious bubble
Jordan "
You can tell the severity of the avalanche and their situation by the tremour in their voice when speaking about it. It obviously had quite a big impact on their lives long after this
I definitely didn't want to hear the end of that story. I'm glad it just ended abruptly.
Just how I like my stories, no ending. A real cliffhanger wink wink
The first time I experienced an earthquake after moving to Los Angeles, I ran outside, kicked off my shoes, and stood on the ground. Sweet couple. Glad they are alivel.
Poor guy - he said “I love you” she goes “Yeah ...”.
Avalanche-zoned
She likes him as a friend 😂
He over achieved with her. He's smitten, she's like, thanks.
She goes , yeah... whatever
I am a woman and I hear it as if she means yes I love you too - she is shy;)
that had me . wow , he held together just long enough to get most of it out , then turns and says I love you the same way you would with your last breath . awesome . love is grand
Thanks for only half the story. I'm done watching these stupid teaser clips from your channel.
Good job missing the purpose of the videos, you moron.
Bio Kimistry oooh you on a period
They died
RyGuy We got a dead man walking here!
yur so right...
Nothing beats unedited raw footage with no bullshit commentary
She didn't say I love you back, poor fella, he's in the friend zone but he just doesn't know it yet.
Oh no she didn't 😂.. probably bcuz dude almost got them killed.
😁😁😁
Now she dating adonis
He was waiting for eh kiss.taken out of context is the new game.last week missin girl of California have famous girl with warm moist tongue sticking out as part of collage,no she not the same girl
Her tongue so cute lets use it as clickbait in missin gal of cali
Two years later and I'm still waiting.
If you find yourself buried in an avalanche make some room to breathe then dribble. The direction your spit goes is down. Now you know which was is up :)
Si Y ...you know, that is a really good idea. Rule of gravity...or rule of spit. SALIVA RULES...damn...🤣
Simple and wonderful. Great advise.
Great advice im off to base camp in may next year 👌
Did you try it?
Thank u Sir
That they survived this is beyond miraculous
This is not from Everest, it's from Langtang valley
Always carry a snow plough on you when venturing out, don't be scared be prepared!! Think smarter, not harder!!
Thank God they're alive to tell their story... They're here for a reason.... 😎
What you faced that day, its a story worth sharing for itself. Clickbait Title not required. Everest is very far away. This is Langtang.
This is lazy journalism from Smithsonian Channel. This had nothing to do with the "Everest Avalanche." Everest is a couple of hundred miles to the east of Langtang Valley, where these people were hiking. Langtang was closer to the epicenter and is where the greatest death toll took place when a huge rock/mud slide and avalanche took out the village and killed some 200 people, if I recall correctly. I hiked Langtang Valley back in March, 1990, before it became more of a popular destination to hike. Back then Langtang Village was only 4 or 5 houses, really a hamlet, not a village, and there were very few tea houses along the way and few hikers. I know exactly where these people were hiking when the earthquake struck. They were still at the beginning of the valley, well before the village. I imagine it was extremely dangerous all along that valley as rocks and avalanches would have been falling all over the area. Fortunately, for them they were spared.
Yellow journalism too. It really sucks how so many of these videos use misleading titles, or thumbnail pictures that have nothing to do with the video to lure one into watching a video that stinks like shit. I agree big fail for Smithsonian Channel. Furthurmore, the asshole videographer did not even finish the bloody interview. BTW excellent recap of your experience with that area.
Watch the whole damn show before you start bitching and complaining.
I did asswipe and the thing ends before the interview is finished so go stuff your psycho face with some hagus.
The whole documentary is available, and I'm no great fan of hagus.
This video is not the whole documentary which is why I and others commented. It is incomplete. In addition to psycho you should add ignorant to your name because your comment was pointless and stupid. BTW you win "Best Recipe for Hagus".
Oh cool an earthquake, I've never experienced one, what an attitude.
I wonder how they survived. I guess so does everyone else.
Do they survive? Find out next time on DRAGON BALL Z!
Ha.
The Minesweeps
I hope I won't have to watch Dragon ball Z to learn the ending, because that show stretches EVERYTHING into a long, multi-episode project. How many episodes did it take the guys to take out Frieza in Z Kai? It was like 20 episodes!
Zach Horrocks
I'm curious, so yeah, you fill me in on why you think that's the case. But, before you do, I'll make a guess..... Is it because I referenced "Dragon Ball Z Kai", and insinuated that I watched the show? If so, then yeah, I stayed up really late on Saturday night and watched Adult Swim's Toonami on Cartoon Network.
Zach Horrocks
yeah and like 50 episodes later .
Props for staying calm and making a great video .
Can tell he loves her as he held the tree and she was in between his arms well done dude hope you two are doing well 👍
My darling was right here... and we just waited"
Hmm what a way to leave us hangin'. Can't wait for the sequel cuz I'm in jittery suspense.
That place doesn’t seem to be the “Everest”
Tip if you're in the path of an avalanche. Run adjacent to it not parallel to its direction, if possible pending you can't get out of the way find a sturdy tree or tall rock and get behind and hang on for dear life. And worst case scenario if you're caught in the middle of the avalanche and can't get cover do two things. Brace for it cause it's gonna hit you very hard and secondly kick your legs and swing your arms like you are swimming it will help you stay above the snow.
Langtang valley and Everest two different Himalayan mountain Range Title lie in this video .
Yet another example of Cameraman being safe
I blame the whole frightening experience on her name ! Lol
Surely not the best memories of your life, thanks for sharing. And congratulations for filming in such threatening conditions.
"as the exploding city hurled towards them in a ball of boulders and smoke, they hid behind a delicate lace curtain to shield their view of the catastrophe about to
unfold"
I still want to trek to Everest base camp.
Be unreal seeing the famed mountain after seeing all the movies and hearing all the stories.
I was waiting for his heroic story....but they just waited lol glad they're safe :)
Similar to what thousands of us experienced in lower Manhattan on 9/11, without the big city as a backdrop.
So romatic'
People are disliking this story because supposedly you didn’t finish the story! LOL. You are here... on youtube.... together.... telling the story. YOU SURVIVED. THAT IS AWESOME! AMAZING! STUPENDOUS! I truly could not be happier for you. THE END!
Thank you I loved your ending it was a big twist but truly a great finish. Have you done any other endings as I prefer yours
He looks like John Malkovich. AHAHHAA
This is landslide one side of place far away from the Everest (Sagarmatha "सगरमाथा"). There is another videos easily found on youtube about avalanche (snowslide) took place in the Everest base camp. And obviously and luckily there are also survivor too. The Langtang lies North and the Everest lies East of the capital Kathmandu city that are completely different places.
See his eyes at 2:02, that's expression of true love. True love to care. True love to protect.
ibles bosuok
And before that, his eyes show the look of shock from the terror they experienced. Believe they call it the 1000 yd stare
Let me see now,"did they survive" someone asks,mmmm!!!! After a lot of thought and careful consideration,based upon the fact that they are fu##ing narrating this film clip,then yes,I think they survived,big lol from bonnie Scotland.
Ha Ha Ha Ha
They narrated this posthumously. 🙄
@@siriusleigh24 thanks genius get literate and read the other comments he’s responding to someone else smh
@@thomassmith693 duhhh
@@thomassmith693 The "literate" guy who doesn't understand sarcasm. Wooosh
He has a Freddy Mercury smile.
Quick thinking, hug a tree. We were luckily where we were during a 7.5 earthquake. She was bouncing on the ground, and I was watching to see if our house would collapse. I glad it went so well for both of us. Quick thinking though! I’ll remember that one.
When Love, conquered Everest. 🙏🙏🌀🌍💞
Holly Cowie: Coolest name ever.
Title is click bait - this is no where near Mount Everest. Lame.
John Manor ....seriously...what snow? Who sees trees and rocks and debris flying in the air and towards ones face, as they are at the BOTTOM of ahill or mountain or in a canyon oe crevice, and thinks, "cool".? Liberal do good dweebs... good they got out, but did expect nature to be calm and collected on that particular day?
"Liberal dweebs"? What do politics have to do with it? You're deranged
@@dannynicastro3207 nothing was flying when he initially thought for a second he was experiencing his 1st earthquake. He seemed pretty emotional, looking at his gf while he described being buried alive. Idc where it was, or if it was snow or dirt..that was a life changer.
Yeah . That was langtang avalanche
If we’re playing the guessing game 🤔 I’m going with, liberals 😉
Holly Cowie! That must have been terrifying.
That's a 'oh, fuck' moment.
I am happy they survived the first test of their young married life.
The title^ is misleading. This couple did NOT film the Everest avalanche. They caught some footage of a rockslide in a valley somewhere else, but not on Everest.
As a snowboarder I would have taken the opportunity to make a jib park on all this new snow
"oh cool, it's an earthquake!". Life of an explorer.
I thought this was going to be some attention seeking "oh, hey we filmed an avalanche, aren't we cool?? 😎" type of thing. It actually turned out to be moving.
Pun not intended.
what a shock the douchebag is from California
Moving?
Like not to go to Mount Everest?
Yeah, the mountain was moving you half wit.
+dbleo. Well said. You can tell which commenters have a miserable life because their personalities are also miserable.
Moving? I hope he moved out. He says i love you and she replies yeah.
God please Bless these people.
Nice guy. He's proud to save wife
Was this in 2015??? Lantang was demolished.
It's a miracle they weren't down there.
Please don't feed the trolls, folks. Don't let them trigger you, you're smarter than that. Shutdown the trolls here and elsewhere on social media by ignoring their pathetic posts. Remember: if you respond to a troll, they win.
I am happy to know they are well....
This is not Everest Avalanche, it's in Langtang National Park as they are saying it. Correct the title.
The guy has a bunny smile 😃
did they dieded?
No, but that joke did a decade ago.
^that's ironic because the meme kid in your picture is also a decade old^
+ASAC+ nice mic drop
no, theyd dided nod diededed theyd dided surviveded.
John Eli lolololololololololololol
People this footage is not taken at everest region...rather it is in langtang region of Nepal.. 25th April 2015 during that mega earthquake..this footage can be found by searching earthquake in nepal...
Axel???? Mom is an 80's fan? Dad a mechanic???
mother earth is alive and we would do well to remember that!
RIP, am I right?
If you survived you werent in the worst possible place.
That was a landslide. An avalanche is snow.
An Avalanche can contain rock and dirt. It picks up boulders, trees, anything in it's path. The avalanche started at the top of the mountain, when it got closer to the bottom, it was picking up dirt.
glad you're ok,
Holly knows she can do a little better. The crying dude knows it also and is desperate to use this scary experience as emotional leverage.
for those that don't know the rest of the story, they died.
Got to admit, he's sure did grasp the severity of the situation, cool earthquake in a steep valley.
And then they hide behind a tree 😳😳
Bet they didn't see that one coming... or did they? Guess we'll never know.
But did they make it out alive?!?!? Don’t leave me hanging Smithsonian Channel!
Common sense..they are the ones narrating the video🙄
@@deepikaabhijeetkumar1656 it was a joke
Sadly, they died.
"I remember I said I love you" and you tell he is thinking - and you didn't say it back. Awkward!
Wet tho Wann 'e?
I heard somewhere this couple survived the avalanche!😜
FEEL the Earth move under your Feet....Who Sang that Carol King ?????
This Couple Filmed the Chomolungma Avalanche Coming at Them. There you go, fixed the title for you.
@X Marks In the ancient Hakka Chinese dialect, 'Langtang' means the 'cold place.'
you guy,s were so lucky, glad you all made it through it, i would like to here to rest of the story on how you got out, did you dig, or did someone dig u out,
Covered and buried after an avalanche but it’s brighter here. How dare you Smithsonian!
literally his reaction was my reaction the first i felt an earthquake.
Holly Cowie!! That was scary!
betoen
Don't you mean, Holy Covfefe!!!?
Earthquake! No captain, battle formation!
These videos are so confusing. Dust clouds are massive and it looks like some giant avalanche is coming and then when it hits they get covered in about a foot of dirt lol. I'd expect them to be burried 10 meters deep haha
I bet they will never get divorced...
It was an accident, you can't go round blaming Nature for Everything. 🙄
Matt Pannell nature is everything
When you can't get the satisfaction of liking the video for 1k or 2k etc. So you dislike to get to 1K
Damn that girl is beautiful.
Holy Cow. Its HOLLY COWIE
I love you too.
"Yeah...anyway"
"....and 3 months later when Spring arrived....."
These stories are NOTHING but trailers
shes real beautiful
You can see his ,love for her!
So what happened? Did they survive?
who thumbs downs this? I feel that way about my wife - that was touching...
How MANY thumbs down can u give on a video?! NOT ENOUGH on this one. Don’t even bother...🤨🥵
It is the same as when you hear a volcano erupting, just DUCK and COVER!
