Government Building Collapses Into River in Nepal Amid Floods

A municipality government building in Baglung, Nepal, collapsed into a river after floodwaters left it teetering on an unstable ledge, according to footage published by the BBC.

The building's foundation was undermined by flooding in the area before it eventually gave way, falling into the river below. The moment was captured on video and published as part of the BBC's ongoing coverage of the floods.
