Almost like being buried under a mountain.

"This avalanche hit a (military) headquarters. Over 100 soldiers and personnel are trapped," army spokesman Major-General Athar Abbas told Reuters, adding that a total of 117 soldiers were stationed there.

Snow from the avalanche was up to 80 feet deep, state television reported, suggesting their chances of survival were slim. State television, quoting the army spokesman, also said the avalanche covered an area 0.62 miles (1 kilometer) wide, Reuters reported.

sounds to me like the US needs to loan them that "non lethal heat ray gun" and they can melt them out within a day... but noooooooo, that's only for dispersing crowds during martial law.
