Nepal school principal Rajendra Dawadi is being hailed as a hero after his quick decision helped save 1,643 children from devastating flash floods in the Trishuli Valley. After receiving warnings that floodwaters were rapidly approaching, Dawadi rang the school bell and ordered an immediate evacuation. Teachers and students fled uphill, taking shelter beneath a bodhi tree as raging waters swept away the school buildings. Two staff members, including a teacher and a janitor, were killed after returning to riverside areas. The glacier-triggered disaster has killed hundreds and left thousands missing across Nepal.
