Earth is going haywire


This photograph taken on May 3, 2015, shows a villager sitting in the rubble of her destroyed house in the village of Baluwa in north central Nepal, eight days after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Himalayan nation on April 25. The earthquake has had a devastating impact on the economy of Nepal where tourism attracted almost 800,000 foreign visitors in 2013 -- many of them climbers heading straight to Mount Everest but also less adventurous tourists seeking the rich cultural history of Kathmandu.
