I was in Langtang, Bamboo village at the time as well. The beginning wasn't loud, it was a gradually increasing shaking, I was sitting in the open at the time, wasn't scary at all. What was scary, was the rocks and boulders coming down afterwords... literally erasing one building after another in front of our eyes. A friend, took a video just a few seconds after it started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J5-dndrWxU

Just like that: http://imgur.com/a/WSOqR Actually it was five Nepalese and two Lithuanians (me and my brother). It was hard and took very long - maybe 4x normal walking time! What saddened me most was that when we reached the helicopter pad at Syabrubesi, two flights left without taking the injured. Supposedly they were private flights (big money wins) and our guy had to stay on Ibuprofen in a tent for another night :( The Nepalese in return for the help were very nice to us, helped with the shelter and food.
