JAIN Associated Press RISHIKESH, India — Indian rescue crews struggled to reach trapped victims Sunday after part of a glacier in the Hima- layas broke off and released a torrent of water and debris that slammed into two hydroelec- tric plants. At least nine peo- ple were killed and 140 were missing in a disaster experts said appeared to point to global warming. Video from India’s northern state of Uttarakhand showed the muddy, concrete-gray floodwaters tumbling through a valley and surging into a dam, breaking it into pieces with lit- tle resistance before roaring on downstream. The flood turned the countryside into what looked like an ash-colored moonscape. More than 2,000 members of the military, paramilitary groups and police took part in the search-and-rescue opera- tion, including soldiers expert in mountaineering, working into the night under bright hal- ogen lights, authorities said. The flood was caused when a portion of Nanda Devi glacier snapped off in the morning, re- leasing water trapped behind it, authorities said. It rushed down the mountain and into other bodies of water, forcing the evacuation of many villages along the banks of the Alak- nanda and Dhauliganga rivers. A hydroelectric plant on the Alaknanda was destroyed, and a plant under construction on the Dhauliganga was damaged, said Vivek Pandey, a spokes- man for the paramilitary Indo Tibetan Border Police. Flowing out of the Himalayan moun- tains, the two rivers meet be- fore merging with the Ganges River. Pandey said at least 42 work- ers were trapped in two tun- nels at the Dhauliganga project. Twelve were rescued from one of the tunnels, while at least 30 others remained stranded in- side the other, he said. “The rescuers used ropes and shovels to reach the mouth of the tunnel. They dug through the debris and entered the tun- nel. They are yet to come in touch with the stranded peo- ple,” said Chief Minister Triven- dra Singh Rawat, Uttarakhand’s top elected official. An additional 140 workers at the two plants were missing, Pandey said. Surjeet Singh, a police official, said at least nine bodies were recovered. SALT LAKE CITY — Four backcountry skiers in their 20s died when one of the deadliest avalanches in Utah history hit a popular backcountry skiing area, police said Sunday. Four other people were also buried in the Saturday slide but managed to dig them- selves out and didn’t suffer serious injuries, according to Unified Police of Salt Lake County. The skiers were from two separate groups, and all eight had prepared with the neces- sary avalanche safety gear, au- thorities said. The four killed were all from the Salt Lake City area, not far from the spot where they were swept up by the ski- er-trigged avalanche in Mill- creek Canyon. Three of the deceased were identified as Salt Lake City residents: Louis Ho- lian and Stephanie Hop- Francisco Kjolseth/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP Salt Lake County Sheriff Search and Rescue crews respond to the top of Millcreek Canyon where four skiers died in an avalanche Saturday, near Salt Lake City. Four other skiers were injured, authorities said. The skier-triggered avalanche swept up eight people in their early twenties to late thirties who were in two groups touring the back- country, Unified Police Sgt.

The survi- vors found their four compan- ions and dug them out, but they were already dead, police said. The still-unstable snow conditions kept rescuers from immediately recovering the bodies; recovering operations resumed on Sunday morning. Avalanches have also claimed other lives in recent days: the bodies of three hik- ers were found near Anchor- age, Alaska, on Thursday.

Avalanche forecasters and search-and-rescue groups have been worried for weeks that more people would be ven- turing into the backcountry to avoid crowds and reservation systems at ski resorts during the coronavirus pandemic.
