Deadly flash floods in Nepal have left thousands of people missing, with hundreds believed trapped in mining tunnels across the Himalayan region. Among the missing are at least 85-90 American citizens, including a 73-year-old 9/11 survivor who lost contact with family during a Himalayan hiking trip, and Shital Chetan Chohan, a woman from Powell, Tennessee, whose family is pleading for help finding her. Families in the U.S. are anxiously awaiting news as search efforts continue amid the scale of destruction. The flooding is being described as catastrophic, underscoring the severity of monsoon-driven disasters in the region and the difficulty of accounting for foreign travelers caught in remote areas.
