A flash flood swept through Nepal's Gorkha district on October 11, 2026, smashing into the Soti Khola Bridge and causing it to buckle and be carried away down the Budhi Gandaki River, about 60 miles west of Kathmandu. Video captured the moment the bridge collapsed. This marks the second major flooding event to hit the region within a matter of months, raising concerns about recurring flood risk and infrastructure vulnerability in the area.
