"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. "

RAJ KUMAR PARAJULI

BANEPA: The Sunkoshi River in Sindhupalchok has been blocked by landslides after torrential rainfall, turning the river into a lake in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

India Landslide Sweeps Away Scores Of Homes; More Than 150 May Be Trapped - July 30, 2014

http://www.swadeshnews.com/national/pune-village-devastated-by-mass...

Posted: 07/30/2014 4:34 am EDT

NEW DELHI (AP) — Torrential rains triggered a massive landslide that buried a remote village in western India on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people as it swept away scores of houses and possibly trapping many more people under debris, officials said.

National rescue personnel reached the area before nightfall. But continuing rains and bad roads were hampering rescue efforts and preventing reinforcements from reaching Ambegaon, a village in Pune district in Maharashtra state, said Alok Avasthy, a National Disaster Response Force commander.

Rescuers planned to work overnight using floodlights mounted on two jeeps being sent from Pune along with earthmoving vehicles, according to Suresh Jadhav, a district official.

He said 17 bodies had been recovered from under mud, rocks, trees and other debris. "Everything on the mountain came down," he said.

But with 70 homes buried and reports of another 158 hit by the landslide, rescuers anticipated more dead in the village, home to 704 people in the foothills of the Sahyadri Mountains.

The landslide hit early Wednesday morning, but details of the damage only began to trickle out several hours later. The area received 10.8 centimeters (4.25 inches) of rain on Tuesday, with a heavy downpour continuing through Wednesday.

A lack of Internet connectivity and poor cellphone service were also hampering the rescue operation.

"It's surrounded by hills and the area is very remote and rural, so it's taking us time to get there," Avasthy said.

Some 250 disaster response personnel were in the area assisting local police and medical teams who began clearing the debris. At least 100 ambulances were also sent to the area, Jadhav said.

"It is a small village and this happened very suddenly," local legislator Dilip Walse Patil told CNN-IBN TV network. Earlier Wednesday, one local commissioner, Prabhakar Deshmukh, said more than 150 people could be trapped.

Landslides are common in the area during the monsoon season, which runs from June through September.

Pune district is about 150 kilometers (95 miles) southeast of Mumbai, India's commercial capital. The nearest medical center is about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the village.

The area around the village has been deforested extensively, increasing its vulnerability to landslides.

Similar deforestation and environmental damage have caused floods and landslides in other parts of India as well.

Last year, more than 6,000 people were killed as floods and landslides swept through the hilly northern state of Uttarakhand during the monsoon season.

Massive Landslide at Iceland Volcano Batters Shoreline With 50-Meter Waves (Jul 21)

video

A roughly one-kilometer (0.6-mile) wide piece of land fell from a mountain near Askja stratovolcano last night. Several 50-meter (164-feet) flood waves crashed on the rocks around the lake in Askja during the night. According to estimates, 50 to 60 million cubic meters (1,766-2,118 cubic feet) of land fell down the mountain.

Researcher Ármann Höskuldsson was in the area with a group of students when the incident occurred and says it was lucky that the incident occurred around midnight when no one was down by the lake.

“There was a massive landslide with part of it falling into the water which created a tidal wave ... The waves were around 50 meters high and were hitting up against the walls of the northern side of the lake,” he told ruv.is.

The waves have resulted in significant erosion.

Landslide in southwest Colombia traps 17 miners

Landslide in southwest Colombia traps 17 miners

Tons of rock and clay have fallen on top of an open pit gold mine in Colombia’s southwestern state of Cauca, trapping 17 miners and injuring another nine, local media reported on Wednesday.

Initial reports detail that as hundreds of people were finishing their shift, tons of rock and clay fell on top of them, trapping 17, according to Colombia’s El Tiempo newspaper.

The mining tragedy took place in the town of Timbiqui, Cauca on Colombia’s Pacific coast; however, rescue efforts have been complicated because access to the mine takes 45 minutes by river.

“This is very serious. The people who could save themselves are just arriving at the hospital. The seriously injured are nine, and among them is the owner of the informal mine,” said Víctor Amu Sinisterra, mayor of Timbiqui, in an interview with El Tiempo.

The tragedy currently unfolding is similar to one that happened in Cauca in May.

“There is an immense amount of distress in the community from seeing so many people disappear in one moment. Relief is on its way to the area, and we hope that at a departamental level, help is given to help us overcome this emergency. We ask for a lot of support to address the situation, since we haven’t been able to control it,” said Sinisterra.

Shocking footage shows the dramatic moment THREE ski slopes collapse at £19m holiday resort in Turkey

By TRAVELMAIL REPORTER

Dramatic footage has been released showing the moment three ski jumps collapsed at a supposedly state-of-the-art holiday resort in Turkey. 

The video shows dust billowing up as the structure gives way at the £19 million Palandöken ski resort, which was built in the city of Erzurum for the 2011 Winter Universiade.

Investigators who attended the site blamed errors made during the construction work, after finding evidence of negligence and basic engineering faults.

Aftermath: The multi-million pound ski resort was left in ruins after the collapse

The facility, which is the country's first and only ski jump, is located at the base of the Palandöken Mountain and had been promoted as a centre to help train a new generation of Turkish winter sports stars.

But three of the five towers at the facility gave way dramatically after developing large cracks in their walls. They ranged from 20 to 60 metres tall.

The other two towers, which measure 95 and 125 metres, also developed cracks making them completely unusable.

Heavy rain in the region appears to have accelerated the collapse of the slopes.

The site also includes a hotel and a cafe, which is located at the top of the 125-metre tower and receives around 200 tourists per day.

The complex was built by Turkish construction firm Saridaglar Insaat as part of a multi-million pound high-profile PR exercise, and had been inaugurated in 2011 by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

It was Turkey's first ski jump tower facility and it was hoped that it would one day help to bring the Winter Olympics to the country.

Turkey's national team were also using the centre to prepare for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in China's PyeongChang.

Luckily, no-one was hurt as staff at the complex had alerted authorities about the cracks in the towers a few weeks before their collapse.

An evacuation took place and the Turkish national team ski jump team were sent home while checks were carried out.

Erol Mehmet Yarar, head of the Turkish Skiing Federation, said: 'Initial findings are that the builders used only a single metre of steel piles (which provide the foundation) in the towers' foundation which was a major mistake, as a 50 metre long steel pile was pre-specified in the architect's plans.

'International standards require at least 25 metre deep piles for the towers of the size of those that collapsed.

'Given that the whole complex was built in an area prone to earthquakes makes this oversight a major error.'

The full report is expected in two months after which Erzurum Public Prosecutor's Office will make a decision on whether to bring about any charges.

Saridaglar Insaat had also built several other sporting venues across the country, along with an airport in the eastern province of Bingol.

The company refused to comment, saying that the investigation was still ongoing.
