The ground was shaking from the earthquake and as soon as we saw people running we were running ourselves to save our lives. A German climber captured the Mount Everest avalanche that killed at least 18 people and injured dozens more after the massive magnitude-7.8 earthquake hit Nepal.

Jost Kobusch Tweeted out the video on Sunday.

The climbers run for their lives as the avalanche descends on Everest Base Camp.

"The ground was shaking from the earthquake and as soon as we saw people running we were running ourselves to save our lives," Kobusch wrote.
