"The ground is shaking," one man says as the avalanche approaches.

Nepal's worst earthquake in 81 years - which has claimed at least 2,200 lives- triggered the avalanche.

The video was shot by German adventurer Jost Kobusch, according to ITV. He filmed the incoming wall of snow before diving into his tent for cover.
