CCTV footage has emerged of the moment a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the capital city of Nepal.
People in Kathmandu can be seen going about their daily business, when the ground begins to shake, gently at first and then more ferociously. Residents attempt to flee the area but appear confused. In the moments after, a temple entrance can be seen toppling onto the road, crushing everything in its path.
As the dust settles, the nature of the destruction is evident, with the road covered in rubble and people trapped under piles of rocks. A few men attempt to drag an injured woman to safety, while others search for shelter in the chaos.
Warning: The video above includes graphic footage.
