KSFR Santa Fe Public Radio interviews Andrew Lustig on his way to Nepal
Nepal’s Prime Minister says the death toll from Nepal’s devastating earthquake could reach 10-thousand. The seven-point-eight magnitude quake destroyed huge sections of Kathmandu, including an eight story ancient temple, triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest that killed more than a dozen climbers while trapping others, and injuring thousands more.
