Unfortunately this is going to become a more common occurence as global warming wreaks havoc on the world. Hey, at least those shareholders and the wealthy are going to be a little richer than they would have been.

It does make you think about where you live or even go on holiday.
Many places around the world like that. Iceland and Hawaii spring to mind. I live in Lincolnshire too which is all reclaimed land and would get swallowed up in a instant.
Need to move to Nottingham and get up high!
"Get high in Nottingham!" is a great slogan for the local tourist board.
But yes, if climate change continues then there will be more disasters/problems and populations are going to shift.
East Anglia here and same - in fact many of the villages around here (I assume the older ones) are all situated on high ground. Ely's regional name is the Isle of Ely. If the worst come to the worst, I guess we'll all become islands again and I'll have an excuse to get a boat. (Or whatever works for swampland)
Agreed - expect the numbers to jump massively. Literally nothing they could do, all those cctv videos of people running....but nowhere to hide
Hovercraft then it doesnt matter, land or sea.
Ancient supervolcano found under England's east coast
Scientists say it erupted with the force of several thousand hydrogen bombs but is extinct now.

I think this video:
www.bbc.co.uk
really demonstrates the unimaginable power that people are up agianst with what has happened. We truly are insignificant when Gaia flexes her muscles.
Huge boulder rolls down river
Video verified by the BBC shows a huge rock carried by the floodwaters.

Found this Geologist video interesting in regards the disaster
Also sounds like the Nepal/Chinese government are now monitoring some other glaciers that might risk collapse

Can't actually see anything, click bait

It's a cloud of something being blasted up at the glacier which is clearly not the regular cloud cover.
The voiceover chose the word smoke, which is questionable.

How is it click bait? Its footage of the effect of the glacier collapse, I've not seen any other footage from there. No it isn't as interesting as the other footage of the damage it causes downstream but it shows the sheers size of those glaciers.
Personally i dont watch videos like this as you dont know what you are watching. I also avoid looking at dead bodies, call me squeamish or uninformed but i can imagine the dire consequences without viewing them. And bad and good people exist always.
There is still some hope. Whole thing is just so awful though.
