Oh, considering the terrain, I don't think it's too surprising that they have as many landslides as they do; anyplace with a vertical slope is going to be at hazard for them. I'm not sure how much mitigation China does.
Can we all guys please just take a few moments to simply appreciate our man Underworld for never clickbaiting us ?? 💪 I love all your amazing work and videos, man!! Keep them coming for at least the next 80 years:)) Greetings straight from Romania 🤍
2:04 #10...that's the problem we faced when I was doing avalanche recovery in the Colorado Rockies; we had to make sure that the slides were done before we could start searching as some of them could -- and did -- run two or three times. Always dangerous.
#8 was absolutely terrifying.. if I wouldn't have walked away slowly, it would've started to bury me, and I could have been completely buried if I didn't get out of it within like 10 minutes.
Anyone else see the guy thinking he is safe at 5:52 ? He gets buried in that culvert 😢 You just see him for a second at the left corner. I wonder if he ever got out?
the /S totally made me snort laugh in a very embarrassing way out in public and I have been yet unable to stop giggling about it. I had to pause the video because of this. Thank you for this LOL
This footage is incredibly terrifying. ⛰💔 The sheer power and destruction of these landslides are both shocking and heartbreaking. My thoughts go out to everyone affected by these devastating events. It's a stark reminder of how unpredictable and dangerous nature can be. Please stay safe, everyone. 🌪🌊
The landslides might be getting worse over the decades, but it might be that more and more people need a place to live. Not quite like California and Florida where people don't really need to live on a hillside or a beach but do because it's cool.
It's likely safe to assume that the installation of that tower, in that particular spot, was at least partially responsible for the landslide. Drilling bore holes for concrete and steel support structures deep into the hillside likely destabalized it, and allowed runoff water to penetrate an already unstable area.
Good footage, shame over half of it is vertical video. AFAIC people who make and upload vertical videos need their eyes surgically removed and re-inserted one above the other.
People, we need to do our part to help society when these disasters happen, teach family and friends how to record it correctly so it'll show full screen, my gosh, you have to film responsible and not just point the camera then click record, size does matter
After watching this video, I’m glad the part of Canada I live is ancient sea bed … flat, limestone, and littered with fossilized sea critters … mostly mollusks like snails and pieces of coral! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
My nominee for "Most Unconvincing Laughter I've Ever Heard" goes to the anonymous 20-something camper across Attabad Lake in Pakistan's Hunza Valley who muttered "eh, eh, eh, eh" -- apparently while peeing his cargo shorts -- at 11:00 of this Natural Disaster Travelogue. The sight of his little campground festooned with aluminum & canvas tents while literally hundreds of thousands of tons of rock preceded by vast clouds of rock dust was making its way across the lake is the reason I watch all such films on RU-vid from my study in the Allegheny Mountains!
Holy Moly, all of these are crazy and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near them. But the first which I was actually the last one seems like it just kept on going.😮
It always kills me when the camera operator sees this massive spectacle going on just across the way and then they turn the camera to look at some guy just standing there. Don't they know we're going to be watching on RU-vid in ten years?
Yo pienso que faltan árboles grandes en esas montañas o laderas ya que las raíces sirven para detener el deslizamiento y sin nada que detenga o que forme un entramado es solo un montículo de tierra suelta y cae por su propio peso...es mi opinión ,no soy experta en esto....saludos de acá de Mexico.☀️☀️☀️🌵🌵🌵
There is not one mountain chain on earth that will not erode down to hills. Like the Rockies are on their third version. And the Blue Ridge were once as large as the Alps.
I never knew just how many landslides and natural disasters happen in china! Those sheer beautiful mountains can turn deadly so easy and fast and just vanish before your eyes.
They are the ones we get to see and are reported. We get plenty in the European Alps. We also have a lot of monitoring and regulations about where dwellings may be built.
"Sadly, he lost his life..." BUT THE OTHER 2,000 PEOPLE SURVIVED! If only one person died, yes, it's sad for his surviving family, but please focus on the much bigger picture that there were so many survivors!!
Yeah, you see that gigantic solid piece of rock that seems to be barely hanging on teetering on the side of that mountain? Yeah I'm gonna build my house directly below it
Another example of the narrator making shit up as he goes along. Very little factual content. What he says can be said by anyone ad libbing any story. Turn the sound off and just watch the clips.
