Crazy Footage of the Mount Everest Avalanche That Killed 17 People

I've always been enamored by Mount Everest and why so many people pay so much money to put themselves in harms way.

On Saturday a 7.9 earthquake hit Nepal which killed over an estimated 2,500 people.  And at least 17 people climbing Mount Everest also died when the quake triggered a huge avalanche.

A guy from Germany was at base camp with a bunch of other climbers when it happened, and posted this video of it.

They were far enough down the mountain that they didn't get completely buried, but you see a huge wall of snow coming at him before he dives into his tent.
