Reconstruction guide

Map limits

Illustrative context only. The map does not establish the incident tunnel, an access route, or the exact location of people or media.

Relief source
SRTM surface with approximately 30 m source spacing.
Scale
Horizontal and vertical scale are 1:1. Relief is not exaggerated.
Heights
Terrain uses SRTM EGM96; the drawing uses EL 1384.06 m. Their datum tie is unverified.
Portal surface
Photos show a cut forecourt that the 30 m DEM cannot resolve. The 6 m outline marks the drawing entrance only; no terrain cut is modeled.
Orientation
No north arrow or survey control is available. The optional overlay treats drawing +X as east; the actual bearing is unknown.
Tunnel drawing
Retraced from a photographed chainage plan. Widths are approximate, gradients are unknown, and printed station marks may not be opening endpoints.
Photo markers
Round camera pins are historical references. Numbered pins show source media. Station-area pins follow the active display surface; they do not identify an entrance or exact camera position.
Incident location
Neither the incident tunnel nor an exact position has been identified by the reviewed sources.

Evidence reviewed Information may be out of date. Verify updates with the original sources.

    Dates and evidence

    Published or Reported is the source timestamp, not necessarily the event time. Occurred appears only when a source states it. Times use Nepal time (UTC+05:45). Open a source to see what it supports and what remains unverified; several reports may still repeat one account.

    Map controls and limits

    The reconstruction is site context, not an event-location map. Selecting an update does not place the incident in a tunnel; the branch and exact locations remain unverified.

    Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, and use Map key & routes to inspect a feature.

    Choose Pan or Rotate, then drag. Pinch to zoom; use Reset for the overview. All map markers remain visible and available at overview scale; text labels appear as you zoom closer.

    Photos and personal notes

    Update photos open published images linked to the log. An area only marker means the source did not establish an exact camera or event location. Photo locations is historical station context, not incident-time evidence.

    Annotate saves personal map notes in this browser only; they are not part of the published record.
