Summary
CNN will air “Nepal’s Deadly Floods” on Sept. 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, with Anderson Cooper reporting from Nepal’s flood-ravaged river valleys for a new episode of “The Whole Story.”
The hour tracks rescue crews searching for hundreds of workers believed trapped at hydropower projects along the Trishuli River, where collapsed roads, bridges, and mud-filled tunnels have slowed access.
Cooper’s report examines why the flooding was so destructive, focusing on vulnerable settlement and infrastructure growth in mountain valleys, Nepal’s hydropower expansion, and increasingly unstable glaciers and high-altitude terrain.
The episode will stream live for pay TV subscribers on Sept. 7 and be available the next day on CNN.com/watch and the CNN app, extending CNN’s Emmy-winning longform series into a broader climate-risk story across the Himalayas.
