A 7.9 earthquake hit Nepal on Saturday, and at least 2,500 people have died.  Most of them were in the capital of Kathmandu.  But at least 17 people climbing Mount Everest also died when it triggered a huge avalanche.  A guy from Germany was at base camp with a bunch of other climbers when it happened, and he caught it on video!

They were far enough down the mountain that they didn't get completely buried, but you see a huge wall of snow coming at him before he dives into his tent.  One of the climbers who died on Everest was a Google executive named Dan Fredinburg.
