- Major flooding near Juneau, Alaska has caused homes and debris to fall into the water after a released of water from a glacier-dammed lake. NBC News' Priscilla Thompson reports on the risk of erosion and the impact of warming temperatures on the region.
Land erosion is real. When you live next to a moving mass of water, expect that some point in time that the house will be uninhabitable. This is the risk home owners take when trying to be near water. The home next to it will be next.
Your lying i play Minecraft he just didnt have enough support obsidian beams in basement floor thats 12 by 30 wide
rip rap could have prevented it
@@yourtrunkrattles4398😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks Nostradamus!
@@MrRainbow228 big rocks. they didnt have any erosion control measures in place
I would never buy a house anywhere near a river or levee. Because that river will eventually spill over one day, it's inevitable.
there was actually a quarter of an acre between this house and the riverbank before the jökulhlaup broke loose.
@@Glaciercrow
Way too close.
@@Glaciercrowwtf that's absolutely nothing 😂
The species dumb enough to build in flood plains can't possibly be dumb enough to keep loading the atmosphere with CO2, of course.
We just went out on our boat today and the amount of debris out in the ocean is crazy. We found fences, pieces of roof, and even a pencil box. The amount of logs and chunks of earth out there is terrible… I wish these people who lost their houses the best of luck for recovering from this.
not the pencil box😳
What happened to building small homes around high risk areas, all these mansions built in areas prone to flooding and storm damage is just insane.
I'd much rather it happen to people with financial means to recover than those who have little to no safety net. That being said, I don't really want to see it happen to anyone....besides Vern in accounting. Hate that guy.
Those houses were built 30 ft from the river bank it usually doesn’t swell nearly this bad.
there is like 10+ homes being compromised or just been wiped out by the flood
@@nopartyleftthatsworthit4330damn vern, what you do to this man?
I lived in this part of Alaska for many years. The coastal mountain range has less snow than ever before. But it is not uncommon for coastal glaciers to suddenly surge water down the river. Having a home near any big river you are taking a risk.
Yep. Best not to buy a house on the edge of the ocean, a river or on a cliff. I've seen too many people lose their life savings the hard way.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Until two days ago, their homes weren't "on the edge."
Are you trying to throw us the "climate's changed before" angle? Any one incident has to be taken in the full context of ALL the others, which is deliberately ignored by AGW deniers. Leftists do the same thing with surging black crime.
@@svwildflowerNAFO Glacial/geological change takes no account of mortgages.
I live right next to where this happend I hope the owners at safe and I’m safe the streets were flooding it was crazy! We had to
Evacuate our house. The River flooded our neighbors house. I just got back to my house and I’m safe but that’s sad the River is now really down low but that’s scary to fall in there! One of the trees broke our fence!
Oh no! Please stay safe!!
If the water is receding so soon then the flooding is from rain not melting glacier.
Keep safe!
Stay safe.
Liar
What this video doesn’t show is just how much land eroded by that house. Days ago that house was 75 feet away from the water. The Jökalhlaup that caused this as well as erosion in previous years has only been happening since 2011. Everyone saying that it’s the homeowner’s fault for living by the river is completely ridiculous.
To emphasize the point of how unprecedented this flooding was, at its peak last night the water was spilling out onto a main road 750 feet away from the river. People that don’t even live on the water have experienced major flooding. This is not the fault of the homeowners.
The condos right next to this house on the other hand, were built in the last 2-3 years and the developers are completely at fault for not building protections for it.
What street was this on? Having lost my home to a flood before I've been trying to figure out where in Juneau this is at.
75 feet is not a lot of distance. It is totally the homeowner’s fault for building there. You live by a river you have to take responsibility.
Must have been a very small river, from the video it looks like the total with is maybe 100ft wide, so even if it only eroded that side of the bank.
WELL, ANYONE LIVES BY A RIVER IS TAKING A BIG CHANCE, YOU PAY YOUR MONEY AND YOU TAKE YOUR CHANCES
It’s shocking that those condos went up so close to the river. Btw, how’d you like that thunder and lightning last night?
Ouch I just felt my home insurance rates go up.
Why do people build their house so close to the river anyway? Any river can flood at any given time. They're just looking for trouble.
@Lee-xf7bk So do I but my house is twice higher than the highest flood there ever was on my river. They should play it safer.
@@Lee-xf7bkI also hope you are respecting the water and not dumping waste into the waterway
I'd guess the river used to be smaller. The house was probably not built overhanging the river. The river bank has probably been expanding for a while. I'd also guess they cleared out a lot of trees to improve the view, removing the roots that previously would have helped hold the river bank in place.
@@pipj7153 All due to fossil fuels powered vehicles my friend. Scientist have recently discovered that all these traffic roundabouts that America is using may even be contributing to more Tornadoes because of the swirling air caused by motor vehicles and such a large format since the roundabouts have been utilized.
@@toenails. Wrong. So very wrong. Go research the damage your precious electric cars do. Lithium is STRIP MINED using CHILD LABOR/SLAVERY. How do they move large quantities of material within those mines? HUGE DIESEL MACHINERY. Your political pandering is the epitome of ignorance. Roundabouts?! What asshattery are you going on about? Stop trying to sound like you know anything.
Years ago, people knew NOT to build right on a beach or river. .Build on “higher ground”….as if we have forgotten all we knew from history.
We haven’t forgotten, many of these houses were built on higher ground but the erosion that happened starting in 2011 has eaten away at the riverbank a substantial amount. This house was nowhere near the river bank days ago.
To be fair the condos right next to this house we’re built in the last 2 years and it’s completely ridiculous that the developers didn’t build infrastructure for it. I heard they’re being sued.
Shut up.
Heartbreaking for the people who lived in that home.
Probably full of bidens illegals
That is Riverside Dr, and those houses/apartments were built on silty soil at a bend in the river. If you build on a sandy river bank, what can you expect?
Glaciers recede, and the entire Mendenhall Valley is built on the historic trail of that glacier. You can really see it near the glacier park where the bedrock is exposed, and has been scraped smooth by the weight of the receding ice sheet.
It's been recession for tens of thousands of years.
"It's been recession for tens of thousands of years." Is that a sly attempt to ignore that melting of glaciers has greatly accelerated in a matter of decades? Soft global warming denial is just as stupid as the obvious kind.
I live in Juneau and the crazy part is during normal time those houses are a good 30 ft from the river bank. The brown condos next to the house that fell in were condemned and they were only built like 4/5 years ago. Please keep all the displaced families in preyer.
They don't make them like they use to.
l am thinking about you from California...l'll never forget the incredible summer I spent in Juneau and visiting the other islands.
Vote for politicians that believe in science.
You mean the ones who lied that if you got the jab, you won't get covid?
climate scientologists said california would be under water by 2010 💙
So vote for politicians who know the difference between man and woman...

Oh, my! That beautiful home!! I sure hope the owners were able to get everything out!!
If that house had a good foundation, it will never go in that water
Doesn't appear to have been all that well constructed, considering the way it fell apart.
I suspect the shore was washed out underneath so hopefully they had a chance to move stuff out.
@vb9077 You're so wrong. Whatever the foundation, if you build on flood path, it'd make no difference.
They'd be glad to get out alive. Material things can be replaced, life can't.
Notice that pretty much every report shows this same scene here with the same house collapsing into the river. Looks like another news footage that is meant to create shock value. Though it's serious this is not the massive disaster that the media makes it out to be.
OH, I GUESSS YOU DONT THINK GLOBAL WARMING IS JOKE TO YOU, WAKE UP SKIPPY, AND SMELL THE ROSES, AND ITS HOT HOT HOT,
Nothing that shows evidence of man-made global warming could ever be worth attention, of course. But nature seems to have a sense of humor in that these problems often affect small-minded contrarians who rave against the gubmint in rural areas. Alaska has too many crackpots.
Huge loss of life and property in different parts of the world. We witnessed huge landslides and cloud bursts in our hometown.
Anybody who buys / builds near water going forward is a lunatic
True. I would never buy a house anywhere near a river or levee. Because that river will eventually spill over one day, it's inevitable.
@@DavidJ222 especially going forward will be even worse with extreme weather.
Nothing like spring break up.
Mother Nature telling us who the real boss is.
It's not spring break up...this is August.
@@TheChilKattake it you never lived in Alaska?
It's called spring break up in Alaska FYI.
@@seanschisler4287 I live in the Chilkat river valley 90 miles north of Juneau.
I've lived here for the last 16 years.
On the coast we have very mild temps.
Our river breaks up in April or May.
@@TheChilKatFolks just be talking. 😂
It's August. Breakup is April.
Lived there in the seventies. Wondering if the apartment building I lived in by the river is already gone. Camped by the glacier. It's stunning to see how far the glacier has already receded.
So sad 😢
The msnbc caption, “ this is who we are.” Was a perfect period on this video.
There's a reason so many people are suddenly and unexpectedly dropping like flies. Climate change is terrifying.
Lol. I know what you really mean ;)
This is a lesson for many people not to build next to an area that is subject to flooding. This is a rainstorm, the college does splitting. Remember, the Obamas bought a mansion next to the ocean. They don’t seem to be bothered.
Oh, stop it. Climate has been changing for eons. Adapt or perish. Very simple.
Building in a flood plain has always had risks for hundreds of years before climate change became a thing. Rivers do not stay in one spot. They meander over the years. Anyone who approved the permits for these places right on the river banks should be sued along with the developers.
Climate has been changing since creation. Explain how ice ages come and go. Explain how archeological evidence found under what was once covered by the Mendenhall Glacier reveal that Alaska was tropical in the distant past. Explain how man is causing the earth's axis to shift. Explain how man causes solar CMEs.
THAT GLACIER IS 300,000 YEARS OLD! It's disappearing!
Diane feinstein is 300,000 years old and is disappearing!
New construction
Anyone STILL think we don't need to do anything about climate change?
Yes.....Republicans. They ignore all facts.
Yes, this has been happening to glacier for thousands of years. It's natural.
You may not have gotten the memo yet that all the money the government requests for one made up fear after the other is just plane money laundering.
Yes, me.
@@gregorylayne9044 Guess you can't handle the criminal cases piiiiiiiiiiling up on Trump, huh?
There’s more time lapse video showing the process of the trees eroding before the house, and they opted to keep showing only the small loop of the house falling over and over again. Poor reporting. The Weather Channel’s version is better and they explain it in only 30 seconds.
WOW 😢
Located this home on a satellite map. This was the on an “S” curve in the river and the very near the lake that feeds it. Homes should have never been built there for this very reason.
Strange this is a yearly flooding that happens in this area. Strange this glacier through the years has ebbed and flowed.
@APerson-ns8xd Yes natural Climate Change.

THOSE DAYS ARE OVER, ITS A NEW GLOBAL WARMING WORLD OUT THERE, MASSIVE FLOODS ALL OVER THE EARTH
Not quite every year (well, not until recently). And this particular type of flooding event hasn’t happened since 2011, and this one is the worst we’ve observed.
It's just the variable power of the sun... Right?
0:23 "unbelievable" Really? Someone built this house close to the river. Never thought this was coming?
My brother was giggling at this 💀
I hope he is under the age of 7.
@@starmessenger he’s 15 😭
House should have been built on pilings.
"Right over here, honey, where we can see the river; I'll call the developer..."
Lol funny sad and yet true
Why wasn't there an actual concrete foundation under that house? You can just set a house that size on top of the ground with no foundation. Unless you want it to fall into a river, I guess.
The foundation didn't look substantial enough to me either for the size and location of that home...
There was a concrete foundation. The river took away the land underneath it
@Glaciercrow must have been gona already I guess.
@@CooperMarketingUnlimited yes, this video is just the end of a 24 hour time lapse he did
Wow, so sad
You build a house in a stupid spot, expect a stupid outcome! LOL!
How come a major news channel has less footage than a facebook post? I just watched a 3 minute FB vid of this incident where it showed the slow destruction of the bank which began at least 100 metres from those properties, swallowed up trees and a large grass field followed by the eventual collapse of the white property and then the larger property to the right.
Whether or not it's anything to do with 'global warming', waterfront urban development downstream from a huge glacial formation clearly carries significant risks which will now most likely give pause to many property insurance policies.
Now, if that house would have been built to float, perhaps it would have had a chance! Bummer, for sure.
"Hey! Let's build houses in an area near the river where it could potentially collapse into the river over time!!"
American homes built with lumbar will always not make sense. Elsewhere homes are built with concrete all around.
Hope everyone is safe
Concrete is a major contributor to climate change. Allegedly.
Nam myoho rengekyo 🙏 pray 🌍 peace be safe _//
people taking photos of the glacier from where the glacier used to be....
Sad thing is, this won’t be the last
Climate change? Coastal and river erosion is common, people build too close to the waters edge and then suffer the consequences.
I live near by the river here in Juneau, Alaska
How’d you like that thunder and lightning last night?
@@shadowstalker1515 it was cool to see the thunderstorm
I hope you made it through okay. My son lives on the river, and it was a friggin' scary couple of days. His house is okay, but his front yard (a large one) is now mostly part of the river.
@@svwildflowerNAFO I am ok and sorry what happened to your son's front yard
What would a reasonable person expect?
“stunning”???? why would she say that
Poleshift? Or no ones been aware of that? Hellooo! Anyone heard of poleshift? Wow, i guess not.😢
It's always about showing disasters, isn't it? Every video and article I've seen on this flood so far has not included news about the human element. I want to know if any people or pets were in these houses that fell into the river, and if people were evacuated in time, and any other personal stories related to this terrible occurrence.
"The human element" of global warming deniers is increasingly uninteresting, if any of those residents were such. You can't just throw endless thoughts and prayers at things many people won't lift a finger to change. Yes, that also applies to the NRA.
Why do you suppose it's called "suicide basin"?
It was given that name from the hanging glacier that looms above it, which is constantly calving and sending huge ice avalanches down. Google is your friend. 😉
@@HeartOnMySleeve77 Hence the report.
Maybe not such a good idea to build next to the waters edge perhaps?
It’s ok. They all get $3K a year from the government from the oil industry.
The building next to the house is next ...
So.scary.and.so.creepy.😢
😮😮😮
Some guys rich expensive house goes into the river. Should of built it further from the river
How about faulty construction?
Some theories predict another gold rush as result of the ice melting.
YES, ALREADY HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA, WITH THE STRONG FLOODS BRINGING DOWN MORE GOLD FROM THE MOUNTANS,
Was in Juneau on July 31 via a cruise. We saw the Mendenhall Glacier and all was calm that day...
This is the kind of thing that happens over the course of a single day, it’s a super quick event that can cause a lot of destruction
IT WAS STILL MELTING UNDER THE GLASIER

This is more like stupid humans with building their houses way too near a river…
She isn't really there, sounds like a door closed before she said anything. Probably in her home with a fake background.
I love the pronouncement. "This is climate change..." really? Yes, winter snow comes, summer snow melts, it has been going on since the beginning of time.
Canada been burning since March and that wasn't really a normal thing since recently
Okay dudes & dudettes normally I hardly watch the News but after seeing this video from Juneau Alaska if that is happening in Juneau Alaska something really tells me & others that their city of Juneau Alaska should build concrete walls around the residences area's so no more homes or apartments doesn't fall in the rivers knowing it is a little hard to find good homes or apartments these days because I've been there dudes & dudettes and don't you think so dudes & dudettes.!?¡¿ ♤♡♧◇€£₩¥☆
Maybe next time build back a few hundred yards perhaps.
What is going on?! Stupid developers (people) building near rivers which always move and change course over time, eroding banks.
build close to a river................................oooooooopppppppsss.
Glaciers have been melting since the ice age 😂
Hope the homeowner had insurance.
What an inundation! What a torrid current! What a cataclysmic world we live in! It feels so morose, so dejected, so dull and gloomy.
YES, THE END IS NEAR OF THE GOOD TIMES AMERICA HAD THE LAST 50 YEARS
This house and the houses along aside it are built right on the river bank. I don’t even know how that is even allowed. I mean your just paying for unnecessary major pain and suffering. 😏😕
there was actually a quarter of an acre between this house and the riverbank before the jökulhlaup broke loose.
Sad ... its goes down like house of cards
Ice dams on Alaska rivers melt every year. This year is no different. People shouldn't be allowed to pollute the rivers with construction debris.
Hey let’s build a house right on the river🤔
Mansion gone smh
IT IS NOOOOOOT CLIMATE CHANGE. These people know nothing about Mendenhal Glacier, Suicide Basin, or how this works.
Our niece's condo is on the right :-(
just the beginning
STOP SPRAYING AS WITH CHEMICALS AND don't play with as

And republicans and fox deny this is even happening :(
It's nice that MSNBC still has their vaccine injured host
Nah, 8 more years and its will all be gone
This will never happen to my forever home.
And they still don't "believe" in global warming! 😅🤣😂
"CUTIE"!!!...😘💪💯💕
We are a big state spred out.Stop building so close to the water. What did they think would happen 😂
great job humans. we all messed up our home
more aptly: we've fouled the nest . . .
Maybe you should talk it out with India and chyna😂

That house, and the one to its right, are clearly brand new constructions. Personally, I can muster little to no sympathy for those who are arrogant enough to continue building in areas thus affected by climate change.
This is not climate change 😂 its called erosion.
As it turns out, the planet heats back up between ice ages! It's not a first, just the first time since the last ice age. Polar ice caps have completely disappeared in the past, so hold on tight!
It isn't supposed to be happening this fast. it's definitely speeding up because of the greenhouse gasses that are being released on a daily basis, the earth is around 140 years away from being hotter than the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum period which has and average 13 degrees hotter temperature than today. Keep in mind this period was the hottest that it's ever been on the earth
YES, WE ARE STILL IN THE END OF THE LAST ICE AGE, THE INDUSTRIAL AGE WILL JUST ACCELERATE THE END OF THE LAST ICE AGE WHEN THE OCEAN RISE 150 OR MORE AROUND THE WORLD
