"The causes of landslides are not a mystery to mankind. Layers of rock and soil such that rain running along a clay or rock layer can create a slippery surface for the weight of the layers above it is a common cause. A rock jumble from previous mountain building, broken or fractured rock easily dislodged. We have stated that the earthquakes man experiences between the periodic passages of Planet X can be considered aftershocks from the last passage, and this is true of landslides also. Mountain building rumples the landscape, so the land is not flat but has steep ravines and hill sides. Older mountain ranges are recognized for their rounded or smoothed appearance, because of frequent landslides distributing the rubble.

"As we approach another passage, another Pole Shift, the pace of landslides has picked up. Why would this be? Plates under pressure will put pressure on regions that contain rumpled hillsides and deep ravines, as these give more readily than strictly flat land, thus act as a weak link. In addition, due to the wobble, the weather has gotten more extreme, with drought and deluge increasing in extremes. Dry ground, suddenly flooded with rainwater needing to seek its level as runoff, will create internal water slides between the rock and soil layers that constitute the rumpled hillsides. Is there an early warning system that mankind could use? The trembles that soil about to slide emits could be detected, yes. These are not earthquakes, and have their own frequency. "

Run for your life: Dramatic footage shows Mexican landslide wiping out a busy road as foundations under 'illegal' tower block give way

  • The massive landslide happened in the Santa Fe district of Mexico City
  • The cliff face under two illegally-built tower blocks slid into the valley 
  • Local council officials said the flats did not have any planning permission
  • Luckily no one was killed by the rock slide which damaged 15 cars  

This is the incredible moment a huge landslide in Mexico was caught on video.

At least 15 cars were damaged as six thousand cubic metres of earth crashed onto the road below.

Amazingly, the landslide did not bring down two tower blocks and a private house built precariously near the cliff edge as the ground collapsed underneath them.

Householders in two Mexican tower blocks had a lucky escape after the cliff face underneath their homes collapsed leaving the properties which were built without planning permission only a few feet from disaster

Bystanders videoed the landside as thousands of tonnes of debris hurtled down the side of the cliff

But shocked drivers and pedestrians below meanwhile tried to flee the debris, and the huge dust cloud that followed.

The dramatic incident happened in Santa Fe, one of the major business districts of Mexico City, located in the west part of the Mexican capital city.

Parts of the video were taken from the other side of the valley, on dashboard cameras and mobile phones, and they were all uploaded onto social media where they quickly went viral.

Officials say people living in the apartment buildings were told there was a risk of landslide back in 2007, but ignored their warnings.

The authorities of Cuajimalpa, one of the 16 boroughs of Mexico City to which Santa Fe belongs, also said they had previously advised the inhabitants to abandon the buildings fearing they would fall if there was a landslide.

Famous sea arch rock formation collapses in Nova Scotia

Thursday, October 22, 2015, 10:54 AM - A famous Nova Scotia landmark has literally disappeared overnight, prompting locals and visitors to wonder, what happened to the 'hole'?

People have long flocked to admire the iconic sea arch, also known as the 'eye' on Long Island in the Minas Basin.

But when nearby residents awoke Tuesday morning, they discovered the rock formation had dramatically changed overnight.

The hole was gone.

"I looked out the window this morning and I had to look twice," Harold Nesbitt told the CBC. Nesbitt and his wife recently moved to a waterfront home in the area because of the view it offered of the Five Islands, which includes Long Island.

The opening in the rock face was large enough that kayakers and boaters could pass through it during high tide. The circular hole served as a pass through from the Minas Basin into the Bay of Fundy, the site of the highest tides in the world. 

Just a few weeks ago, the highest tides in 18 years were recorded in the area. Some speculate that this event, combined with the effects of strong, seaside winds and erosion over time likely led to the opening's collapse.

While the Minas Basin remains a popular destination for those seeking to admire ocean views and unique landscapes, the sea arch will be sorely missed.

Another Massive Landslide on Yukon's Mt Steele (Oct 11)

45 million tons of rock, snow and ice came thundering off Mount Steele, a 5,067 metre peak in the remote icefields of the St. Elias Mountains, in Kluane National Park and Reserve on October 11.

The debris — which NASA compared to the weight of approximately 700 aircraft carriers — fell approximately one kilometre and slid about twice that distance on the Steele glacier.

This is the second significant slide in the area in less than a decade. A 2007 slide on Mount Steele is considered one of the largest known landslides in western Canada.

The recent landslide was discovered by Goran Ekstrom, a seismologist and professor at Columbia University who tracks seismic data worldwide.

The force of millions of tons of rock and ice coming off the mountain caused seismic waves measuring similar to a magnitude 5 earthquake, he says.

"It's actually a very large event. We don't have a full list of large landslides, but I would say this will be in the top 10 of 2015. Worldwide," said Ekstrom. "It might even be higher up on the list."

He says the scientific community doesn't know if there is a "special condition" with Mount Steele that caused two significant events in a short period of time. He says, although ground shaking can case landslides, there were no earthquakes in the region the day of this slide, nor were there other obvious triggers.

Pictured: The incredible moment a massive section of mountain breaks off and plummets 1,000 feet, destroying the forest below

  • The footage was captured by a geologist who just happened to be filming
  • 2,000 cubic metres of rock fell and caused an avalanche on the mountain
  • Major movement was detected prior to rockfall and hamlet was evacuated
  • Rockfall tore a path through trees and the noise echoed around the valley

This is the incredible moment a huge piece of rock broke free from the side of a mountain and plummeted 1,000 feet in Switzerland.

The incredible footage was captured by a geologist who just happened to be filming when the rock fall occurred on a mountain in the Swiss Alps.

According to local reports the 2,000 cubic metres of solid rock that fell caused an avalanche on the mountain of Mel de la Niva, near Evolene. 

Geologists studying the mountain had noted geological activity prior to the incident and the site had been under surveillance since 2013, reported Le Nouvelliste.

Major movements were detected last week and the hamlet of Arbey and a road below the mountain had been evacuated and shut the day before. 

The noise from the rockfall was said to have echoed around the valley, as the debris rained down on the mountain, tearing a path through the trees and destroying the forested slopes.

There were no reported injuries resulting from the incident however.

Since being posted to YouTube the clip has been viewed 100,000 times and a number of users have shared their thoughts.

One person wrote: 'Unbelievable someone was actually there for that, and was recording. Thousands of years of waiting, 30 seconds of action, and we got it on film.'

Deadly landslide hits Karenni village in Myanmar

https://www.mnnonline.org/news/deadly-landslide-hits-karenni-christ...

Myanmar (MNN/VBB) — Eight days ago, heavy rains came as another blow to the village of Mawchi in Kayah State, Myanmar.

Already dealing with the country’s worst floods in 100 years, which struck from late July to August, the deluge caused a river to flood a bridge, wash out roads, and slow down emergency personnel dealing with deadly landslides in the area. Local authorities are relocating those living in disaster-hit areas to relief camps.

Dyann Romeijn, a spokeswoman for Vision Beyond Borders, says, “It’s in a village that our contacts work with, out of the refugee camps, and it’s predominantly a Christian village. I believe that there are 792 victims that are now displaced that are staying in a church, a middle school, an old hospital, and a high school.”Myanmar (MNN/VBB) — Eight days ago, heavy rains came as another blow to the village of Mawchi in Kayah State, Myanmar.

California mudslide could take MONTHS to clear with hundreds of cars and trucks STILL buried in 6ft 'river of mud'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3277645/California-mudslide...

Devastation caused by mudslides in California could take months to clear up with hundreds of cars and lorries still stuck in 6ft-deep dirt.
Violent storms struck northern Los Angeles Thursday, causing a rolling river of mud to engulf vehicles on major trucking routes and flow into people's homes.
Families spoke of the terrifying moments they were forced to clamber onto their car roofs as rising floodwater flowed into their cars, with children telling parents that they thought they were going to die.
No one was injured or killed in the chaos, but California now faces a grueling clean-up operation which could take months, officials said.
Kerjon Lee, a spokesman for Los Angeles County Public Works, said crews needed to clear out 20,000 dump trucks worth of dirt and rocks left on major roads, which could take months.
He added that 50 field personnel and more than 30 pieces of heavy equipment were on the ground in the small mountain communities of Elizabeth Lake and Lake Hughes in Leona Valley, about 40 miles north of Los Angeles.
Homeowners spent most of their Saturday shoveling mud out of their homes, with one property destroyed and the possibility of more having to be knocked down because of damage.
Gary and Gina Hartle, who own a 70-acre horse ranch in Lake Hughes, said they had no idea how long it would take to repair their home.
'Our property is 75 percent devastated,' Mrs Hartle, 54, said. 'We can't access our homes too well right now because everything is washed out.'
She said the two homes on the land seemed like they were fine, but that one of the homes was without water because of an inundated pump, and their 20-foot trailer is nowhere in sight.
'It either got buried or it's downriver,' she said.

Pakistan landslide kills 13 in Karachi

  • 13 October 2015
  • The rockslide crushed homes on a plot of land carved out of a hill

A rare rockslide in Pakistan's city of Karachi has hit several makeshift homes, killing 13 people including seven children, officials say.

The landslide struck early on Tuesday, burying homes in Gulistan Johar district under a mass of rock and mud.

Rescue workers are using mechanical tools to clear the rubble.

Police and officials are investigating the cause of the landslip, including the possibility of sabotage by land grabbers, reports say.

Landslides are rare in Karachi, where most of the land is mud and sand - but the huts appeared to be part of a slum situated on land that had been flattened by cutting off the side of a ridge, the BBC's Ilyas Khan in Islamabad reports.

NZ: Sudden landslip still moving

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/wanganui-chronicle/news/article.cfm?c_id=...

A massive drop-out on State Highway 4 happened so quickly it was lucky no vehicles were swept away by it, says Higgins worker Paul Seconi.

It's his job to guard the ever-expanding drop-out that has closed a lane of the highway just south of Upokongaro.

Mr Seconi said the slip opened up a couple of weeks ago and began as a small crack in the road.

"A truckie noticed a crack in the road about 5am and by 9am this side of the road had gone," Mr Seconi said.

Higgins staff were keeping a round-the-clock watch on the drop-out as it was still moving.

As well, large cracks were appearing in the road near the drop-out.

Mr Seconi said if the drop-out ate further into the road, both lanes would have to close.

The drop-out was most likely caused by weakening of the land due to underground water that came down from nearby hills during floods in June.

Next week construction will begin on a temporary stretch of road, about 100m long, that will be made in farmland next to the road. That would help keep traffic away from the drop-out.

"The farmer will lose a bit of his paddock, but it's only temporary and he'll get it back," Mr Seconi said.

He estimated the road would take about a year to fix.
