Satellite imagery(图像，影像) suggests a glacier collapse high in the Himalayas was the primary cause of the deadly torrent(急流，洪流) of mud, water and ice that tore along the Bhotekoshi River on Wednesday. It swept away(冲走，卷走) buildings and roads and left at least 360 dead and 1,400 missing(失踪的).
卫星图像显示，喜马拉雅山脉高处的冰川崩塌是周三沿波特科希河奔涌而下的致命泥水冰洪流的主要原因。洪水冲毁了建筑物和道路，造成至少360人死亡，1400人失踪。
A magnitude(震级，量级) 4.4 earthquake was initially blamed for(归咎于) the collapse. However, it is now thought to have been caused by the huge wall of ice that crashed down on to the north slope of Langtang Lirung, a 7,000-metre (23,000ft) mountain, the impact of which registered(记录到，显示) a magnitude of 5.2.
最初，人们将这次崩塌归咎于一次4.4级地震。然而，现在人们认为崩塌是由巨大的冰墙撞击朗唐利隆山北坡造成的，这座山高7000米（23000英尺），撞击产生的震级为5.2级。
