The Dharahara Tower, one of Nepal's iconic landmarks in its capital Katmandu, was reduced to rubble Saturday when a 7.8-magnitude earthquake devastated the nation, killing up to 180 people and leaving up to 200 sightseers trapped inside, according to China's Xinhua News Agency and other international reports.
More than 15000 people are reported to have been injured and are receiving treatment on the streets as most hospitals have been inundated with casualties.
