"The ground is shaking."
A new point-of-view video reveals the terrifying scene that unfolded as an avalanche tore through base camp at Mount Everest on Saturday, triggered by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal.
Shot by German climber Jost Kobusch, the footage shows that people at the camp had little forewarning that an avalanche was heading their way. At least 18 people died and 61 people were injured in the avalanche.
Six seconds into the video, Kobusch notices that the ground is shaking. At the 17-second mark, the camera pans away from the camp, and people can be seen running away from the avalanche and into tents. Kobusch runs into a tent with several other people.
The avalanche then hits the camp and, after one minute, a person in the tent with Kobusch attempts to exit. "No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Maybe there's coming [sic] more."
The group with Kobusch exits their tent and, a few moments later, they discuss heading toward the kitchen tent.
"Oh no!" Kobusch says in the video. "There is no kitchen tent left."
The video ends showing the entire camp blanketed with snow.
Tourism officials estimate that approximately 1,000 climbers were at base camp when the avalanche hit.
Mashable has reached out to Kobusch for additional details and comments, but he was not immediately available.
