The hotel's facade and a wall collapsed when the earthquake came in Kathmandu. Svante Bodin sat luckily in the garden when it happened. Svante Bodin is working on climate issues for the organization ICCI and are on a business trip in Nepal, to study how to get farmers in the area to stop burning crop residues. On Saturday morning he sat in the garden at the hotel Shankar under a small roof and talked to some Nepalis when one of them suddenly warned that something was going on. - Then it built fairly quickly up to the climax, "lie down lie down!" They said and it was a good advice for no one could not stand up, says Svante Bodin for DN a few hours after the incident. He could see the pool that was lifted up by the massive power, and about half of the water swept over the garden. - Later a wall the collapsed with a crash, and part of the facade and the countryside upper floor of the hotel collapsed. We did not know if everything would collapse, and we were all right scared, I've never been in an earthquake before, says Svante Bodin about the unpleasant experience. |

Death toll is over 1500 now and rapidly climbing. It is getting dark now over there which is making the search for victims very difficult.. Poor people:'( In the centre of Buddhism for crying out loud! It seems so unfair to me, those people have so many problems obtaining their freedom because of China and then something like this happens. The country is situated on a fault-line, that is one thing, and it was bound to happen again. So concerned about my friends in California.. :( rOZZ Music Pictures |
