‘We have lost contact with all of them’ posted at 11:55 BST11:55 BST Image source, EPA Caption, An aerial view of damaged houses in Trishuli Bazar in Nuwakot district, Nepal Yee Liang, a Chinese businessman based in Kathmandu, Nepal, says his logistics company has seven container trucks in the flash flood area, all manned by Nepalese employees. “We have lost contact with all of them. There is no signal, so we cannot communicate with anyone,” he tells the BBC. Yee says that as far as he knows, there was no warning. “There were occasional landslides and mudslides, especially in the rainy season, but this one seems much more serious,” he adds. On the Tibetan side, Guan Daoxuan, in Sichuan province, tells the BBC that he lost contact with his wife late on Wednesday morning. She works for a state-owned construction company dedicated to building roads and bridges in Tibet. Guan said Nepalese authorities had attempted to send a helicopter to inspect the area because road access had been cut off, but strong winds were making it difficult for the plane to reach the scene.
