काठमाडौँको न्युरोडको एक घरमा दिउसै भुत पस्यो, भिडियो खिच्न गएका एभीन्युजका पत्रकारलाइ झ्यालबाट फ्याकीदियो भने तल चस्मा पसलेलाइ पनि दुइ थप्पड हिर्कायो ! - एकै छिनमा न्युरोडको सडक जाम !!

Dramatic footage has emerged showing the moment the devastating earthquake, which has so far killed over 5,500 people, hit the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu.

The CCTV clip shows the final eerie seconds of calm, as people stroll down the pavement by a busy main road where white mini buses drive past.

Around 45 seconds into the 3-minute video, the camera jolts, the ground begins to shake and flocks of birds fly out of trees by the roadside.As people realise an earthquake is hitting the city, they attempt to flee, with some being tragically flattened by a falling building which fills the air with brown dust.

Almost a week since the earthquake – the worst in Nepal for eight decades - struck, rescue efforts are continuing in affected areas. Officials are concerned that as search teams scour through the debris, the death toll could double.
