    Yeah, I thought about that later. Maybe remove the explosive from the missiles, just load them with heavy stuff so they will tunnel horizontally . They should stop removing debris for a while and siphon the water to the other side with several flexible pipes until the level gets down a few meters, then resume the excavation, then siphon off again etc. until the spillway is finished. People are very distressed up there.

    Well maybe that will cause an even bigger rock to break off and fall in there too.

    thank you for the videos. Do you know how much the water is still expected to rise?

    Ask the Americans to do something useful with their missiles, and fire a few into the debris to clear the way for the water to flow downstream again!
    After all the Hunza disaster area is not so far from the tribal areas where they send missiles to kill Taliban!
