"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. "

BOGOTA, June 10 (Xinhua) -- At least eight workers died, four injured and over 30 more are missing in a landslide that occurred in northwestern Colombia on Thursday night, the country's office for disaster management (UNGRD) said Friday.
The workers were building a highway along the Medellin-Quibdo road in the northwestern state of Choco when the landslide caused by intense rains in recent days tore through a section of the roadway, UNGRD said.
Rescue efforts began in the early hours of Friday, with eight bodies having been found, before being briefly suspended due to the risk of provoking other landslides.
"At the moment, eight people have been killed, four more have been injured, three machines have been destroyed and one road has been affected," said a UNGRD report issued on Friday afternoon.
The UNGRD confirmed that over 30 workers are also still missing.
One survivor, Heiler Chavarra, told Colombian daily El Tiempo that he saw the landslide move a bulldozer "almost 1,000 meters", adding that "all those nearby were caught by it."
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos wrote on Twitter that he "lamented the death of eight people in a landslide along the Medellin-Quibdo road" in the northwestern state of Choco.

BOISE, ID --There is heartbreak in the foothills of Idaho after a landslide has destroyed a number of homes.
"You're going to hear lots of cracking through here, and that's normal."
Stacy says the signs of damage were small at first.
"So this is the first crack I noticed, and at the time it was only a millimeter big. You can see what has happened since," Stacy says. "It's just snowballed fast since then."
Throughout her once beautiful family home, piles of debris and framing are strewn about the home as the wood floor and foundation crumble beneath.
The landslide has pulled the house from its foundation, displaying the incredible force of the earth's movement.
The situation, Stacy says, has been hard to explain to her children as they flee their home for safety.
"My second grader started taping up the walls and the hardwood, trying to fix all the cracks," she says.
Down the street, her neighbor Leslie says their home is in better shape, but are unsure for how long.
A concrete step which once met the walkway outside her front door is now significantly lower than it once was.
Inside the home, the same tell-tale signs of cracking walls and foundation are becoming evident as they did for Stacy.
"Once we started seeing the cracks inside, we realized we were kind of following the same path," Leslie says.
Several agencies say they are working to stop the slide, but neighbors say it isn't happening.
Moving trucks have denied their requests for help because of insurance concerns. In the meantime, neighbors are finding themselves in dire straits financially after being caught without landslide insurance.
"It just feels like everyone who could help us in this situation has left," Leslie says. "That, think to me, is the hardest thing to really digest."

Massive Cliff Collapse in Southern England (May 22)
Around ten metres of the East Sussex cliff collapsed into the sea over the weekend in the biggest landslide in decades.
Thousands of tons of chalk plummeted onto the beach and sea during the collapse.
National park experts are now warning of a risk of further collapses.
Mr Novis took a video on a canoe showing the results of the fall near Cuckmere Haven where he described the cliffs as "fragile".
He said: “It is the biggest I have ever seen and I have lived on the coast for more than 50 years.
“I think a cliff fall on this scale is very rare but it certainly could happen again.
“I’ve also recently seen evidence of other smaller falls along the coast and it is clear the cliff edge is very fragile at the moment.

37 people reported killed in Sri Lanka landslides
Published: May 19 2016, https://citizentv.co.ke/news/37-people-reported-killed-in-sri-lanka...
Rescue workers in Sri Lanka are digging through heavy piles of mud and debris in an effort to find victims after torrential rains triggered flooding that sent massive landslides crashing down on homes in three villages, leaving at least 37 people dead. Dozens of people are reported missing and feared buried alive.
President Maithripala Sirisena Wednesday toured an area devastated by the severe weather and said, “The loss is devastating” in a message posted on Twitter. Sri Lanka’s meteorological department said the heavy rains were caused by a depression in the Bay of Bengal but were expected to subside.

The Sri Lankan Red Cross said in a statement posted online that two teams were dispatched early in the day alongside government authorities and had since rescued 180 people, despite power outages in the villages of Siripura, Pallebage and Elagipitya in the Aranayake area, located in Kegalle district.
The president ordered troops to help evacuate people living in flood-hit areas or on slopes. The country’s navy and air force were called to help with relief operations with approximately 266 troops deployed in Kegalle, the worst-affected district.
Police said many residents fled farming areas before the landslides hit. Reports say more than 350,000 people have been affected by the weather-related disaster with 223,000 people taking shelter in state-run welfare centers.
The rains have caused flooding in cities including the capital, Colombo. Schools nationwide were closed Wednesday due to the bad weather.
Sri Lanka’s Disaster Management Center reported that over the past few days, 11 people have been killed in electrocutions and smaller landslides.
15 dead after landslide sweeps Uganda village (5/11/16)
At least 15 people have been confirmed dead and scores still missing following a landslide triggered by heavy downpours in western Uganda's Bundibugyo District Tuesday morning.
Bridges were washed away and some 200 homes destroyed in heavy rains that have cut off access to some areas. Rescue operations are on-going.
...The news comes a day after authorities announced that at least 49 people had been killed at the weekend in neighbouring Rwanda after landslides caused by heavy rains.
Landslides are not unusual in Rwanda but this year’s rainy season has been particularly deadly with at least 67 people killed from January to April.

The description of the video says:
Two landslides occurred on April 27, 2016 at the Uch-Chat Pasture located near the village of Almaluu-Bulak in Jalal-Abad region. The first landslide of at least 100 thousand cubic meters came down at about 5.40 pm local time, and destroyed a summer house built on the pasture.
The second much larger landslide – 1 million 600 thousand cubic meters – came down at about 6.00 pm killing a 14-year-old boy who was grazing the livestock in the area.
It is unknown if the video shows the first or second landslide but according to its size and the existing landslide deposit I guess it is the second one.
The next two videos show the aftermath of the landslide. The first of these two videos has a decent shot of the provides an overview of the landslide:
The second video shows residents and helping crews trying to make the best out of the situation.
The landslide appears to be dry as almost no dust has been generated. And the ground really behaves like a fluid. The wave form evident in the video is remarkably reminiscent of a tsunami making landfall.
The cause of the landslide is of course undetermined. But I think it is related to heavy rains and water oversaturated soil.
Just like an Earth tsunami devouring everything on its path!
