KATHMANDU, Nepal — Nepali authorities say rescuers have recovered Sunday the first body from two buses that were swept by a landslide and submerged into a raging river in a raging river a day earlier.
The body was that of a man and was found some 50 kilometers from where the buses fell, said government administrator Khima Nanda Bhusal. Soldiers and police teams were using rubber rafts, divers and sensor equipments to try to locate the buses, which were pushed off the highway into the river by a landslide.The buses were likely submerged and swept downstream in the Trishuli. Nepal’s rivers generally are fast-flowing due to the mountainous terrain. Heavy monsoon downpours in the past few days have swollen the waterways and turned their waters murky brown, making it even more difficult to see the wreckage.
A third bus was hit by another landslide Friday morning a short distance away on the same highway. Authorities said the driver was killed but it was not clear if there were any other casualties.
