The interesting bit is the equally huge boulder laying in the field right next to the one that went through the house. Apparently this has happened before many years ago. Maybe not that unpredictable?
As a mountaineer I know that a rock fall first announces itself acoustically. That's why it is required that any helmet leaves the ears open. However when driving a car it is not possible to hear these early warning signs. When the rocks become visible it is mostly too late.
My husband and I were walking a country road and we heard a crack and looked in the direction of the crack then heard another crack as we watched a huge oak tree crashed to the ground…and it was so heavy the road shook beneath our feet .. that is a once in a lifetime experience.
During a storm one night I heard the loudest thunder I ever heard in my life. Except it wasn't. It was our 80+ ft. Oak tree coming through our house. Now that's a once in a life time experience too. 😊
@@GrandmaLoves2Scuba when we lived on the coast of Florida a hurricane hit so we rode it out while my husband had to work in the response team … a tree fell in the back yard - I thought it hit our roof and during the eye of the storm I went outside and it was our neighbors tree had fallen…that scared the heck out of me that night!
Working on clearing steel catchment nets in Cape Town and having personally almost lost my life to a man sized boulder moving at about 80kph, I can testify to the incredible sound of just one roaring "smallish" rock. You hear it most time way before you see it. Rolling thunder that penetrates your core. Imagine the actual sound of a good chunk of the mountain side coming down.
@stephendosson Wow terrible. Thanks for sharing. In 1971 I was doing Navy National Service and driving towards Simons town there was a small rock that bounced in front of me driving a 1200 c.f. Beetle. I did not even stop to look, and when I see this footage I am glad I did not stop. All the best Stephen where ever you are now. I am in the UK since 2014. Merry Christmas Bro.
I was once caught in rock slide in Kashmir. Me and my brother were driving and suddenly rocks started falling contains huge boulders all around us. We stopped and ran back. Miraculously both of us were unscathed and safely ran back amongst those falling rocks. I can never ever forget those horrifying moments. Our jeep was hit by some rocks after we left it.
In Frank, Alberta (Canada) there are the remnants of a landslide which occurred more than 100 years ago when 90 million tons of rock separated from a mountain and then rolled out for several kilometers, obliterating part of the town and tragically burying the inhabitants. The site has been preserved to this day, and is breathtaking to see the scale of it. There are boulders there the size of 3-bedroom houses. Incredible.
That house that was partially destroyed by the rock was something else. The fact of the rock just stopping short of the main part of the house is crazy. On the plus side they now have a huge solid shield that will help protect the house from future landslides.
If I would ever build a house on such places those boulders upstairs would be history before I build anything as final. I couldnt care less for regulations or "law" I would mine the f--k out of those and sell it, I think a year or two would be enough, remove it the hell out of sight and only then settle in such place. Heck I would basically use those stones to build a house too.
What are you going to mine those boulders with, your pick axe? Get a grip, clearing those boulders would be many times more expensive than building the house.@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy
That actually is true of any heavy object with a lot of inertia man made or natural it has loads of energy and can be destructive to any thing it may strike.

I have a little personal experience of this, also from China. This was in Zhejiang Province in an area with medium sized mountains. I was on a bus and the slide must have happened less than an hour before we arrived. There were about 30 cars in front of us, waiting for the road to get cleared. The rocks covered the road and the total slide was perhaps 100 m end to end. Within 30 minutes after the bulldozer/crawler and the excavator arrived, they had cleared one side, allowing us all to pass through. The guy directing the crew told me that this was pretty common in the area. The type of rock there is inherently unstable and especially after several days of rain, will start to slide. To him it wasn't a big deal, more like a nuisance.
I am from Serbia and traveled all over Europe and around Balkan roads there are everywhere chained up huge rows up to mountains so there are no chances of landslides. At least not as easily. In order to those break a huge chunk of mountain needs to erode. So I am surprised places like you mentioned either didnt do the same or built their roads smarter.

Geological weathering beautifully portrayed. Owner millions of years, this is what happened to the Appalachian mountains. They used to be higher than the Himalayan mountains. Same thing for the Rockies. Same thing for all the mountains that have evidence geologically ancient or oceanic crustal rocks at the top. Neat!
That is fascinating. I like the idea that this is how planets become spherical over billions of years. Every time you kick a pebble down a hill, you’re helping that process along. Having a geologically active core counters it somewhat. Speaking of the Appalachians, I was stunned, STUNNED I tell you, when I discovered that the Caledonians in Scotland were part of the same range.
I also hate it when people zoom in too much and then you see hardly anything at all. Please zoom out so we can see more of the action. Viewers can zoom in while watching the vudeo if they want a closer look.
Those two huge boulders that rolled over that house in Termeno Italy were truly hairy! Wish they caught them rollin’ on camera like they did in those China shots.
I once lived near the confluence of the Van Duzen and Eel rivers in Northern California, in a town called Rio Dell. There is a large bend in the Eel river as it passes through town (thus the name Rio Dell). At the time that I lived there, the North Coast Railway was still running trains along the river. Whenever they followed the bend through town, they inched along very slowly, due to an unstable steep wall of rock and soil overhanging the railroad tracks. In fact, there had been many rock/mud slides over the years that had to be cleared from the tracks in order to keep the trains running. Years ago, one such slide knocked a locomotive into the river, and at low water in the Summer you can still see the remains of this train.
Thank you for telling your story. I have a big color picture book of CAT heavy duty Dozers I have had for years. The book is mainly about CAT equipment, but reading your comments one session of the book is about big D-9ers clearing the highway around your area. 😊
That Italian farmhouse is terrifying! I’m not sure I would sleep well in that house. It amazing that rock ended up within feet of the previous slide, I thought they both came down together.
A similar huge rock came down, east of Vail, Colorado, and destroyed the living room and dining room. Two years later, my then fiancée & I were seeking a new dwelling, and saw this 'recently renovated' home. After touring it, it dawned on me! I said nothing to the agent, but my fiancée was glad I remembered.
One of the biggest rockslides to ever occur was the one that buried part of the town of Frank in Canada. 82 million tons of rock came down the mountain.
So of course, I had to google it… 70-90 people died and most remain buried under the rubble. It’s also a provincial historic site of Alberta, with around 100,000 visitors a year. Thank you for sharing that- it was interesting to read about.
La Conchita in California had a massive mud/rock slide and wiped out a large portion of the town. 10 people killed. So terrible to be “safe” in your home and be wiped off the earth.
I live in Idaho where we had a huge landslide on Highway 55 a few years ago. Initially, the state figured it would cost 3 million to clear it away. At the end of the repair it cost 23 million dollars to clear and make safe. This was on highway 55 between Boise and McCall ID.
I appreciate the way the compilation was made. A lot of effort, not just gaining attention from copy-paste of what somebody else placed on TH-cam. thank you😊
When I was 8 years old, my friend and I dug a massive hole on the side of a steep hill. We would go out and dig the hole a little deeper every day. For two weeks. We made sure to leave enough of a “ramp” on one side so we could climb out, as the hole was around 8 feet deep. It started to rain as we were digging. All of the sudden the sides started to collapse in. I don’t know how we got out-it was pure luck. When it was over, the surrounding earth had completely filled the hole in a matter of five seconds or so. I still get queasy thinking about how both of us could have been buried alive. This hole was far from anyone’s home. I don’t think we would have ever been found. After letting all that really soak into our 8 year old brains, we quickly started to re-dig the hole. I consider myself a permanent idiot for that naive decision.
Hiking in Namibia’s Fish River Canyon & probably the 5th time around on 86km -56mi, opened ended hike. This is one of the best hikes I’ve done as one sleeps under the stars therefore ruining all other hikes! First night in, our party of 8 wasn’t disturbed by the rock fall that came crashing down. I cringed as the noise continued & really amazing that no one else heard it when quizzed the next morning.
These were some amazing videos. The sheer and elemental power of nature. Thank you so much for this. I must say, though, that I really hate the treatment - I don’t know what to call it - where the sides of the picture are blocked or cut off, resulting in a narrow view. This sometimes completely obliterates the view of the sides, other times it just blurs the sides out of focus. This technique is in common use these days, but I find it very annoying. Does anyone else feel that way?
The sides aren't cut off. The video was originally filmed in portrait mode (taller than wide). To fit TH-cam's landscape mode (wider than tall), they duplicate part of the original image on the sides. You are seeing the whole video, but I understand how the blurred edges could be annoying.
WOW!! Amazing footage!! The narration was factual, unemotional in detail, & enhanced the video without competing with the scenes!! Good to know no one was injured!
Salt Lake City, Utah, April or May of 2020, probably around 6:00 AM. My girlfriend and I were heading to a doctor's appointment. She was in her third trimester of pregnancy at the time. Directly to our left and stretching above us was the 'Grand America' hotel, across the street it's aptly named little sister, 'Little America'. I had spotted less than half a dozen people in the last half hour, and no storefront lights on, other than a coffee shop. At the middle of the block a low rumbling began, accompanied by a slight vibration under our feet. Seconds later, it crescendoed to the sound of a rock slide under the sidewalk. We had stopped walking and were holding each other steady, comprehending the situation. It almost seemed calmer for the span of a breath, before the entire street began violently shaking. The ground felt like one of those amusement park rides where the floor moves from side to side, except this was the entire street. It looked like it slid a whole three feet to the left, then another three feet to the right. It was like someone was using the city block for a game of tug-of-war. Sparks flew from a transformer box on a telephone pole as all car alarms in the area went off at once. The whole thing lasted about 30 seconds, the alarms were still on after the ground had finished it's tantrum. The most ironic part is I'm from California, I haven't ever felt an earthquake, and when moving to Utah I thought I would need to worry even less! Guess not 🤷
It never fails to amaze me that when folk are faced with a rock fall/mud slide they have this magical piece of equipment that protects them, a mobile phone. If you watch the people filming they walk towards the danger, I’d he running he’ll for leather in the opposite direction, why don’t they.
And if a bit slides like in the video prior to December 2023 and there are more boulders, rock, and dirt on either side it means it could have moved also for miles...Just like the water some of the material landed in could cause an issue..and if it flew under or by an automobile with a gas tank that's a different ballgame..with more landslide material.... A video camera or mobile phone camera can be played with afterward.
Thank God for keeping me, being that I traveled all 48 States in America for 10 yrs and never encountered any adversed situations while traveling thru massive mountain terrain.
That one just south of Bolzano, Italy is of particular interest to me. I used to drive to the Milan-Verona-Venice region on a regular basis. That scar was quite apparent from the Autostrada. I even took a small group of interested souls up to the house that got half-pummelled for a closer look, about 4 months after the event. Except for the one that stopped right at the house, I'm pretty sure the ones that plowed the house, are still there.
Really amazing watching physics working on objects scaled up to those sizes. In a lot of cases they do look like they're moving in slow motion. We're just not used to seeing such huge things moving so quickly.
There are giant rocks falling in our direction. Should we run for our lives? Nah... lets just get a good video recording of this and post it on our social media so that we can get many likes.
A couple was crushed to death in a rock slide not far from where I used to live. The entire hillside for several hundred metres came into the road. The slide began probably .5 km up the mountain. Near Terrace BC Canada around the year 2009, if I remember correctly.
In the UK we have the Snake Pass every year in winter snow slush rain there is always landslides my Late Hubs and I were going to Sheffield and used the pass within minutes after we passed there was a massive land slide .. Another time again in the Car with Hubs and I said that doesn't look right .. Red Rock formation with an old Cotton Mill on its highest point a few hours later the Red Rock came crashing down onto a few cars thankfully non were hurt ... My Town is Stockport Cheshire UK northwest and is largely Red Rock Based! 💜🙏💜
I was driving through Wyoming, it was a place where they cut through the side of a hill. So a steep rocky cliff going straight up on my right. All of a sudden it sounded like a gun went off right next to me. Little splinters of glass all over me. A rock that i assume a grass hopper landed on or something like that just enough to cause it to drop. The plastic sheet between the 2 layers of glass held so the rock didn't go through the windshield. Scared the crap out of me. Now im paranoid every time i drive through hills like that.
@@debdodson5884 Just don't ever squish one. They don't mean any harm. Remember the woman who was stranded in the pitch black of a Thai cave that swept all 8 her companions to their death. She only had the light of a glow worm, crawling up the cave wall as her gauge to how fast the water levels were rising as she held on to hope, perched upon a ledge until she was rescued. The little glow worm unknowingly served a purpose to a young woman who was afraid and all alone.💓🐛💓
Lol, not to laugh but you never know what can set things into motion do you?! We live in BC so many roads & hwys. run close alongside mountainous regions and it's always in the back of your head. It can't not be when you see the netting they've got in place as you drive along! Safe travels.💓🚗💓
The stuff nightmares are made of. In the Pacific NW we have had numerous mud and rock slides resulting in many deaths, including a whole family. I dodge a similar big rock fall, though, much bigger, like the first one(No. 10) presented here while climbing Mt.Hood in Oregon.
Are you talking about the one North East of Seattle. It had rained a lot and I believe they had Logged about the slide area, people were trapped in their cars, some they never found. It was a massive wall that just slid toward the River 😊
I lived in OR. when there was a big land slide it took me 3 months and a lot of looking but I found in total $48, 790 of gold pieces a lot of the slide fell into the river.
I live near Sausalito CA and drive that stretch fairly frequently. Good to see an actual rock slide to remind us that the signs are accurate. But it wasn't as big as his car though, was it. Still, he made it through pretty good, no smashed windows or worse!
That part of the 101 seems risky every time we drive through it, much of that span of the freeway is built through the hills lining the bay and some parts are extremely steep, thank goodness my boy adam is ok
@@alvaroq2024 Of course. I've been told that nothing happens without a divine reason. It seems totally nonsensical to me, but who am I to argue with the authorities? Can we prove that it wasn't their time to go? Of course not. We're completely bonkers. We don't talk to the Almighty!
@alvaroq2024 That depends? My father had paranoid skitsopherina for over 30 years and eventually killed himself because of it. He thought a man was always chasing him with a gun. While it wasn't naturally his time he had enough and I didn't blame him. I was going to kill myself 30 years ago because I'm gay but God stopped me and I'm glad he did .
Some of these would be pretty scary, especially when some of those bigger ones come in pretty hot. First couple rocks fall on the second clip: That's not too bad. 10 seconds later: OMG lol
Definitely some scary stuff to witness up close. I saw one a few years ago in the Appalachian Mountains when I was travelling a backroad in the Blue Ridge section in Virginia. I was a safe enough distance away, but thought "If I was under that section of road, I'd have been screwed". All you can do is standby and watch.
Yeah I live in the smoky mtns near the national park, and can remember 2 different rock slides on the i40 gorge, and how you basically have to just cross your fingers it would never happen while driving through
I remember a giant one here in Southern California, it was caught on tape too. It was raining heavy for a week after a bad fire season & the whole hillside came down on a neighborhood of homes, killed a few people too unfortunately. The mud covered the homes
You’re taking about the La Conchita landslide(s). One occurred in 1995 that while it destroyed several homes, no lives were lost. But another in 2005 killed 10 people.
Disasters haunt me; no one wants them to happen. What we need to do is implement measures to limit their occurrence, all to keep everyone safe. Thank you for the quality video content.
In 1983, there was a landslide on the Pacific Coast Hwy near San Luis Obispo. My neighbors husband was a D8 driver, D8s being the largest earth movers at that time. His job was to clear the hwy so it could reopen since that road is one of CA’s most significant tourist attractions. He began to move the landslide from the highway and the disturbance caused another landslide that carried him & his gigantic machine to the bottom of the Pacific where he will sleep with the fishes for all eternity.
Nigdy nie byłem świadkiem takiej katastrofy . W naszym okręgu w okolicach Krakowa zdarzają się niewielkie bardzo wolne osunięcia ziemi na pagórkach . Bywało że komuś zniszczony został dom.
In the second clip I am reminded of the George Carlin take: just think of how stupid the average person is then imagine half of them are dumber than that.” If i am ever in a position for a front row seat to a rockslide, I will back up before the entire side of the mountain falls off.
Fact: The rockslide sign at 4:06 is clearly a _European road sign._ California is halfway around the world from anywhere that would have such a sign on a roadway.
When I worked heavy construction at a rock quarry this used to happen to me 5 to 10 times a year. I ran a 100 year old steam shovel, all steel cable and lever operated, the kind you used to see in kids books, but this one was converted over to a screaming Detroit diesel. We had a 90 foot blue stone ledge and we'd have a blast about once every year or two. I'd fill a truck with the blasted rocks who'd drive it up to our crusher and screening plant. As you slowly chew away at the bottom of the 50 foot pile of stone, you'd eventually come across one the size that sunk the titanic, if you were lucky it was flat and would just slide down and hit the machine, unless it decided to flip end over end or roll down, then my cage would literally get rocked! Over time you learn how to dig a guide so you can control where the stone goes, sometimes it would roll down and I was able to catch it in the machines bucket and drop it off to the side. They could be up to the size of an SUV. You'd also learn over time when the ledge was about to let go and predict witch side would go next. I didn't have to deal with the general public, it was a beautiful area right next to a bird sanctuary and a killer view during lunch breaks! Loved that Job. Hated the owner's son, but loved the job and all the old timers I worked with.

Let this be a serious lesson to us all. If you think there's about to be a landslide, film in landscape.
Depends on how wide angle your camera on your phone can do. Sometimes it just doesn't get everything in frame if you turn the phone sideways.

Those people in the first clip made the ULTIMATE best decision in taking out their phones and start filming because THE CAMERAMAN NEVER DIES
The only vids we see come from surviving cameramen. - or cameras recovered during the excavations long afterwards.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never underestimate Mother Nature, she redecorates different then we do😅😅
I don’t like the view I’m moving over here
I once lived near the confluence of the Van Duzen and Eel rivers in Northern California, in a town called Rio Dell. There is a large bend in the Eel river as it passes through town (thus the name Rio Dell). At the time that I lived there, the North Coast Railway was still running trains along the river. Whenever they followed the bend through town, they inched along very slowly, due to an unstable steep wall of rock and soil overhanging the railroad tracks. In fact, there had been many rock/mud slides over the years that had to be cleared from the tracks in order to keep the trains running. Years ago, one such slide knocked a locomotive into the river, and at low water in the Summer you can still see the remains of this train.
Thank you for telling your story. I have a big color picture book of CAT heavy duty Dozers I have had for years. The book is mainly about CAT equipment, but reading your comments one session of the book is about big D-9ers clearing the highway around your area. 😊
The slide on the Eel was at swimmer Delight on 36. It’s one of my swim holes, and is stunning in fall.

@@rp1645 Oh yes, I have seen the aftermath of the highway slides.
@@user-ii3vn8tn3q Oh yeah, I remember Swimmer's Delight. Brings back some memories there.
Clickbait, only rock not on camara is is tumbnail. Rest not so impressive.
That Italian farmhouse is terrifying! I’m not sure I would sleep well in that house.
It amazing that rock ended up within feet of the previous slide, I thought they both came down together.
A similar huge rock came down, east of Vail, Colorado, and destroyed the living room and dining room.
Two years later, my then fiancée & I were seeking a new dwelling, and saw this 'recently renovated' home.
After touring it, it dawned on me! I said nothing to the agent, but my fiancée was glad I remembered.
One of the biggest rockslides to ever occur was the one that buried part of the town of Frank in Canada. 82 million tons of rock came down the mountain.
Yikes. I imagine there was quite a loss of life with that one.
So of course, I had to google it… 70-90 people died and most remain buried under the rubble. It’s also a provincial historic site of Alberta, with around 100,000 visitors a year. Thank you for sharing that- it was interesting to read about.
La Conchita in California had a massive mud/rock slide and wiped out a large portion of the town. 10 people killed. So terrible to be “safe” in your home and be wiped off the earth.
@@Jennifermcintyre That sounds just awful. I hope your family and friends are all ok.
@@imlistening1137 oh I don’t live there thankfully!! But thank you!! 🙏. Many beautiful places to live can have unseen dangers! 😥
I live in Idaho where we had a huge landslide on Highway 55 a few years ago. Initially, the state figured it would cost 3 million to clear it away. At the end of the repair it cost 23 million dollars to clear and make safe. This was on highway 55 between Boise and McCall ID.
Hi
No rocks were hurt in making this video
I don’t know… seems like some of them were absolutely shattered…
I appreciate the way the compilation was made. A lot of effort, not just gaining attention from copy-paste of what somebody else placed on TH-cam. thank you😊
The sound is incredible as the mountains come down.
When I was 8 years old, my friend and I dug a massive hole on the side of a steep hill. We would go out and dig the hole a little deeper every day. For two weeks. We made sure to leave enough of a “ramp” on one side so we could climb out, as the hole was around 8 feet deep. It started to rain as we were digging. All of the sudden the sides started to collapse in. I don’t know how we got out-it was pure luck. When it was over, the surrounding earth had completely filled the hole in a matter of five seconds or so.
I still get queasy thinking about how both of us could have been buried alive. This hole was far from anyone’s home. I don’t think we would have ever been found.
After letting all that really soak into our 8 year old brains, we quickly started to re-dig the hole. I consider myself a permanent idiot for that naive decision.
that's actually insane
Hm.
Did you read the comment about the dude in the car who assumed the grasshopper dislodged the boulder?prior to December 2023.
I used to love climbing tall trees deep in the woods. My parents preferred not to be told about it. Loved your story!
"oh. We could have died. Let's start all over again"...
I have a severe fear of being buried alive 😅 & being stranded in deep space or middle of ocean lol
Hiking in Namibia’s Fish River Canyon & probably the 5th time around on 86km -56mi, opened ended hike. This is one of the best hikes I’ve done as one sleeps under the stars therefore ruining all other hikes! First night in, our party of 8 wasn’t disturbed by the rock fall that came crashing down. I cringed as the noise continued & really amazing that no one else heard it when quizzed the next morning.
Good you were on watch it probably saved those sleepy heads.
4:05 They don’t use Kilometers in California.
Wrong B-Roll.
The rolling stones are no joke!
These were some amazing videos. The sheer and elemental power of nature. Thank you so much for this.
I must say, though, that I really hate the treatment - I don’t know what to call it - where the sides of the picture are blocked or cut off, resulting in a narrow view. This sometimes completely obliterates the view of the sides, other times it just blurs the sides out of focus. This technique is in common use these days, but I find it very annoying. Does anyone else feel that way?
Flip phones.
Most definitely my dear.
The sides aren't cut off. The video was originally filmed in portrait mode (taller than wide). To fit TH-cam's landscape mode (wider than tall), they duplicate part of the original image on the sides. You are seeing the whole video, but I understand how the blurred edges could be annoying.
I feel the same way.🙋
Friends don't let friends record in portrait. 🤬
WOW!! Amazing footage!! The narration was factual, unemotional in detail, & enhanced the video without competing with the scenes!! Good to know no one was injured!
You missed the #1 landslide. The Mount St. Helens land slide
This video was so well put together, it shows your dedication!
Salt Lake City, Utah, April or May of 2020, probably around 6:00 AM. My girlfriend and I were heading to a doctor's appointment. She was in her third trimester of pregnancy at the time. Directly to our left and stretching above us was the 'Grand America' hotel, across the street it's aptly named little sister, 'Little America'. I had spotted less than half a dozen people in the last half hour, and no storefront lights on, other than a coffee shop. At the middle of the block a low rumbling began, accompanied by a slight vibration under our feet. Seconds later, it crescendoed to the sound of a rock slide under the sidewalk. We had stopped walking and were holding each other steady, comprehending the situation. It almost seemed calmer for the span of a breath, before the entire street began violently shaking. The ground felt like one of those amusement park rides where the floor moves from side to side, except this was the entire street. It looked like it slid a whole three feet to the left, then another three feet to the right. It was like someone was using the city block for a game of tug-of-war. Sparks flew from a transformer box on a telephone pole as all car alarms in the area went off at once. The whole thing lasted about 30 seconds, the alarms were still on after the ground had finished it's tantrum. The most ironic part is I'm from California, I haven't ever felt an earthquake, and when moving to Utah I thought I would need to worry even less! Guess not 🤷
The camera man never dies is only true because we never get the footage from the ones that do.
Upvote for Adam's mustache. 🥸
😂😂 I'm sure it's perfect with his juggling act. 😊
Unfknbelievable
@@criticaltheories5222😂😂😂😂😂
Totally…
Glad his mustache is ok
It never fails to amaze me that when folk are faced with a rock fall/mud slide they have this magical piece of equipment that protects them, a mobile phone. If you watch the people filming they walk towards the danger, I’d he running he’ll for leather in the opposite direction, why don’t they.
S ❤
Some may say that it wasn’t their time.
And if a bit slides like in the video prior to December 2023 and there are more boulders, rock, and dirt on either side it means it could have moved also for miles...Just like the water some of the material landed in could cause an issue..and if it flew under or by an automobile with a gas tank that's a different ballgame..with more landslide material....
A video camera or mobile phone camera can be played with afterward.
This happened to a friend. He was driving his friend's corvette in Montana when a rock the size of a house zoomed by just in front of the car.
Oh my god! Glad he’s okay 😳
@@squish_the_stupid4320 Yes, but it missed by just feet.
4:20 A rock "smaller" than his car. There.. fixed it for you 🙂
There's something satisfying about the sound of rock fall
It is too long and slow. 18 minutes for 10 examples?
Hater
Thank God for keeping me, being that I traveled all 48 States in America for 10 yrs and never encountered any adversed situations while traveling thru massive mountain terrain.
Superior engineering and a lot less corruption in the materials and preparation work is a big factor in your safe journeys.
👏🏾👏🏾God is good!💚
@@JohnShalamskas NO, my Yah God kept my going-outs and coming-ins, amongst many other things...
Clip #2 Commendable video footage and awesome job to the guy(s) who filmed AND saved all those people from certain disaster 💯
Hi
That one just south of Bolzano, Italy is of particular interest to me. I used to drive to the Milan-Verona-Venice region on a regular basis. That scar was quite apparent from the Autostrada. I even took a small group of interested souls up to the house that got half-pummelled for a closer look, about 4 months after the event. Except for the one that stopped right at the house, I'm pretty sure the ones that plowed the house, are still there.
Thank you for these amazing stories .
Really amazing watching physics working on objects scaled up to those sizes. In a lot of cases they do look like they're moving in slow motion. We're just not used to seeing such huge things moving so quickly.
Having been raised in the mountains of Tennessee, I have seen the results of rockslides all my life.
Thanks for contributing to the discussion with impactful input....
@@mattstevenson1334 Said Matt, who's a Flatlander.
Woooow did you get hit in the head by one?
@matt
Thanks for the clown contribution...
There are giant rocks falling in our direction. Should we run for our lives? Nah... lets just get a good video recording of this and post it on our social media so that we can get many likes.
😂
That's what my wife and I were thinking.
"We found these phones among the rocks and crushed skulls. They have some amazing footage!"
A couple was crushed to death in a rock slide not far from where I used to live. The entire hillside for several hundred metres came into the road. The slide began probably .5 km up the mountain. Near Terrace BC Canada around the year 2009, if I remember correctly.
Hi
It’s funny I found your comment 😂
@@DHBSriHilarious. I’ve learned to be careful. 😂
1:36 they should stand a little closer
That mans mustache is amazing!
In the UK we have the Snake Pass every year in winter snow slush rain there is always landslides my Late Hubs and I were going to Sheffield and used the pass within minutes after we passed there was a massive land slide .. Another time again in the Car with Hubs and I said that doesn't look right .. Red Rock formation with an old Cotton Mill on its highest point a few hours later the Red Rock came crashing down onto a few cars thankfully non were hurt ... My Town is Stockport Cheshire UK northwest and is largely Red Rock Based! 💜🙏💜
I was driving through Wyoming, it was a place where they cut through the side of a hill. So a steep rocky cliff going straight up on my right. All of a sudden it sounded like a gun went off right next to me. Little splinters of glass all over me. A rock that i assume a grass hopper landed on or something like that just enough to cause it to drop. The plastic sheet between the 2 layers of glass held so the rock didn't go through the windshield. Scared the crap out of me. Now im paranoid every time i drive through hills like that.
And some people think what they call small critters are irrelevant.
@@debdodson5884 Just don't ever squish one. They don't mean any harm. Remember the woman who was stranded in the pitch black of a Thai cave that swept all 8 her companions to their death. She only had the light of a glow worm, crawling up the cave wall as her gauge to how fast the water levels were rising as she held on to hope, perched upon a ledge until she was rescued. The little glow worm unknowingly served a purpose to a young woman who was afraid and all alone.💓🐛💓
Lol, not to laugh but you never know what can set things into motion do you?! We live in BC so many roads & hwys. run close alongside mountainous regions and it's always in the back of your head. It can't not be when you see the netting they've got in place as you drive along! Safe travels.💓🚗💓
The stuff nightmares are made of.
In the Pacific NW we have had numerous mud and rock slides resulting in many deaths, including a whole family.
I dodge a similar big rock fall, though, much bigger, like the first one(No. 10) presented here while climbing Mt.Hood in Oregon.
Are you talking about the one North East of Seattle. It had rained a lot and I believe they had Logged about the slide area, people were trapped in their cars, some they never found. It was a massive wall that just slid toward the River 😊
@4:07 those are NOT American road sides... that scene is NOT in california.
Avoid All "101" "202" "303" "404" Mountain Roads Around The World, OR YOU GET LAND SLIDED ON😂
I lived in OR. when there was a big land slide it took me 3 months and a lot of looking but I found in total $48, 790 of gold pieces a lot of the slide fell into the river.
Remember if you are fearing for your life in a dangerous situation, start filming because the cameraman never dies.
Never heard that one before. Good one Beavis!
I live near Sausalito CA and drive that stretch fairly frequently. Good to see an actual rock slide to remind us that the signs are accurate. But it wasn't as big as his car though, was it. Still, he made it through pretty good, no smashed windows or worse!
It’s a skill to make people laugh, but it’s a talent to make them laugh at life’s oops moments. You’re truly talented!
Empathyless unforgiving mother nature crushing and destroying all before her.
That part of the 101 seems risky every time we drive through it, much of that span of the freeway is built through the hills lining the bay and some parts are extremely steep, thank goodness my boy adam is ok
Thank God all those people were saved. It wasn't their time yet.
What happens when people commit suicide? Was it their time as well?
@@alvaroq2024 Of course. I've been told that nothing happens without a divine reason. It seems totally nonsensical to me, but who am I to argue with the authorities?
Can we prove that it wasn't their time to go? Of course not. We're completely bonkers. We don't talk to the Almighty!
@alvaroq2024 That depends? My father had paranoid skitsopherina for over 30 years and eventually killed himself because of it. He thought a man was always chasing him with a gun. While it wasn't naturally his time he had enough and I didn't blame him. I was going to kill myself 30 years ago because I'm gay but God stopped me and I'm glad he did .
Some of these would be pretty scary, especially when some of those bigger ones come in pretty hot.
First couple rocks fall on the second clip: That's not too bad.
10 seconds later: OMG
lol
Shifting is basically what it’s called. Basically all that water underneath the soil tends to weaken the top soil.
Amazing video!
Definitely some scary stuff to witness up close. I saw one a few years ago in the Appalachian Mountains when I was travelling a backroad in the Blue Ridge section in Virginia. I was a safe enough distance away, but thought "If I was under that section of road, I'd have been screwed". All you can do is standby and watch.
Wrong turn
Yeah I live in the smoky mtns near the national park, and can remember 2 different rock slides on the i40 gorge, and how you basically have to just cross your fingers it would never happen while driving through
@@adamfowler350 Yeah that would be a bad day for sure.
Mother Nature is All powerful and we are just fleas on a dog's arse.
I remember a giant one here in Southern California, it was caught on tape too. It was raining heavy for a week after a bad fire season & the whole hillside came down on a neighborhood of homes, killed a few people too unfortunately. The mud covered the homes
I think one of the fatalities was a young girl abt 9 yo. I cried when that aired on TV.
You’re taking about the La Conchita landslide(s). One occurred in 1995 that while it destroyed several homes, no lives were lost.
But another in 2005 killed 10 people.
Hi good afternoon
Increíble, lo que hace la madre naturaleza.
Gracias por el video.
Saludos a la distancia
The hiking video was giants at the top trying to stop them from coming up 😅 no big deal
Disasters haunt me; no one wants them to happen. What we need to do is implement measures to limit their occurrence, all to keep everyone safe. Thank you for the quality video content.
In 1983, there was a landslide on the Pacific Coast Hwy near San Luis Obispo. My neighbors husband was a D8 driver, D8s being the largest earth movers at that time. His job was to clear the hwy so it could reopen since that road is one of CA’s most significant tourist attractions. He began to move the landslide from the highway and the disturbance caused another landslide that carried him & his gigantic machine to the bottom of the Pacific where he will sleep with the fishes for all eternity.
Nigdy nie byłem świadkiem takiej katastrofy . W naszym okręgu w okolicach Krakowa zdarzają się niewielkie bardzo wolne osunięcia ziemi na pagórkach . Bywało że komuś zniszczony został dom.
Well mother nature gets the last laugh.
In the second clip I am reminded of the George Carlin take: just think of how stupid the average person is then imagine half of them are dumber than that.” If i am ever in a position for a front row seat to a rockslide, I will back up before the entire side of the mountain falls off.
4:10 is NOT California. This must be a pic from Europe.
This is why in the rock stabilization world we work/climb side by side and never above each other
Fact: The rockslide sign at 4:06 is clearly a _European road sign._ California is halfway around the world from anywhere that would have such a sign on a roadway.
Wow! You really need to get a life, dude
Thank you for this video.❤❤
Finally A Thumbnail That Wasn’t Faked Just To Get Viewer’s In 🤔
When I worked heavy construction at a rock quarry this used to happen to me 5 to 10 times a year. I ran a 100 year old steam shovel, all steel cable and lever operated, the kind you used to see in kids books, but this one was converted over to a screaming Detroit diesel. We had a 90 foot blue stone ledge and we'd have a blast about once every year or two. I'd fill a truck with the blasted rocks who'd drive it up to our crusher and screening plant. As you slowly chew away at the bottom of the 50 foot pile of stone, you'd eventually come across one the size that sunk the titanic, if you were lucky it was flat and would just slide down and hit the machine, unless it decided to flip end over end or roll down, then my cage would literally get rocked! Over time you learn how to dig a guide so you can control where the stone goes, sometimes it would roll down and I was able to catch it in the machines bucket and drop it off to the side. They could be up to the size of an SUV. You'd also learn over time when the ledge was about to let go and predict witch side would go next. I didn't have to deal with the general public, it was a beautiful area right next to a bird sanctuary and a killer view during lunch breaks! Loved that Job. Hated the owner's son, but loved the job and all the old timers I worked with.

Rock sliding warning signs for the next 2Km in California? 😂😂
You would presume all those trees would stop falling rocks, wouldnt even expect that!😮 good to know! G I ad you posted videos!❤
According to his profile, Adam is a “Professional Whistler”. That is awesome.
