At least 60 are dead in the Himalayan foothill villages in India, following heavy rains, which force a dam to burst. Entire families are swept away leaving dead cattle and ruined crops. The dam is shown at its' breaking point. Flood water flows downstream. Various shots of villagers hit by the water. Dead pig and mud covered crops. Children and women sit in the remains of their homes. Sad expressions, poverty, man crying.
