Landslides
"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. "

Massive landslide destroys road leading to Belaga
http://www.theborneopost.com/2016/03/15/massive-landslide-destroys-...
MALAYSIA: The town of Belaga is now totally cut off due to a massive landslide in several areas along the 37km Mejawah-Belaga Road.
The landslide has decimated the road some 15km from the town, effectively cutting off any motorists from using it.
According to Belaga assemblyman Liwan Lagang, the landslide occurred on Monday night and continued until Tuesday morning due to heavy downpour in the area over the past 24 hours.
“I am seeking immediate assistance from all the relevant authorities especially from JKR to assist in the diversion works of the affected areas as soon as possible as Belaga Town now is totally cut off from the outside world,” Liwan told The Borneo Post today (March 15).
He added that he has sent a letter to Infrastructure Development and Communications Minister Dato Sri Michael Manyin for immediate assistance and a copy of the letter has been sent to the chief minister’s office.
Liwan said an estimated 18,000 people especially those residing in Belaga Town are now affected by the landslide.
The video below uploaded to the Fire and Rescue Department’s Operations Centre Facebook page shows the road leading to Belaga crumbling away.

And suddenly the road collapsed in California.
A section of the 3rd highway between the settlements of Trinity Center and Coffee Creek (Trinity County) disappeared after the heavy rains that softened the ground on March 15, 2016.
Well too bad for those using the street. They will have to drive a 200-mile detour.
But if you have a four-wheel drive vehicle you can use the icy Trinity Mountain Road.
This will take up to eight weeks for traffic flow to be restored on State Route 3, with complete repair taking up to three months.

Care Home Perched On Precarious Cliff After Landslide (Mar 10)
A massive landslide has left a brand new care home teetering on the edge of a steep cliff with several of the rooms there rendered uninhabitable.
The Cheval Roc Residential Home in Jersey opened to residents just last week, but already faces an uncertain future following the cliff collapse.
Elderly residents at the Cheval Roc Residential Home on Jersey woke up to the terrifying scene on Thursday last week, just days after they moved in.
Tonnes of land and mud was swept away as the northern shore of the island was hit by heavy rain and 75mph winds.
Ten pensioners who moved in to the property - which opened as a care home last week after previously being used as a hotel - will remain in their new residence for the time being.

Rockslide in Spain Forces 180 to Evacuate (Mar 12)
Spanish officials say at least 180 people have been evacuated in the northern coastal city of Ondarroa after a rock cliff partially collapsed, threatening a row of newly built apartment buildings.
Mayor Zubeltz Bedialauneta says experts had warned that a rocky cliff behind the new apartments had shown slippage after nearly a week of heavy downpours and it finally began to give way on Friday afternoon. He says the local government decided to evacuate residents Saturday after boulders struck the rear of the buildings.
He says there's still a danger that the rest of the cliff could collapse onto the apartments.
City spokeswoman Leire Beitia says the latest tests showed "the state of the cliff face has worsened alarmingly."

Landslide Pummels Road Maintenance Truck in Northern California (Mar 11)
A state roads worker was given quite a scare Friday after he was dispatched to clear a mudslide on Highway 1 in Mendocino County and a second slide toppled his dump truck.
The unexpected wall of rock and soil poured down a rural hillside around 3 a.m., pushing the truck — and its lone occupant — on its side against a guardrail. On the other side of the rail is a very steep slope to the beach.
“He was able to climb out of the truck afterward, unharmed, just very shaken up,” said Caltrans spokesman Phil Frisbie, Jr. “On the other side of that guardrail, it is a very steep slope to the beach.”
The rugged stretch of Highway 1 about five miles north of Westport remained closed Friday afternoon while state geologists evaluated how the landslide might be cleaned up.
The truck driver was with a maintenance fleet out of Fort Bragg responding to a different slide in the same area when the landslide struck.

According to online news portal Detik.com, hours of rain on Tuesday afternoon brought down the entire 60-meter cliff behind the hotel at 0:30 a.m. The landslide also knocked down a five-meter water tank made of concrete that slammed into several rooms, trapping a dozen hotel guest beneath the rubble.
A joint rescue team consisting of officers from the National Police, Indonesian Military (TNI), National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) and the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) managed to evacuate some of the victims but three are still trapped as of Thursday morning.
The trapped victims are identified as Budi Tanuadi, 52, his wife Meilanawati, 52, and Bun Susanto, 35
Meanwhile, the other eight victims, including three children, who were rescued earlier, are now receiving medical treatment for their injuries at the nearby Cimacan Public Hospital. All of the victims are believed to be from Jakarta, a two-hour drive away.

Two dead, five missing in Congo after collapse at Glencore mine (3/8/16)
Two workers at Glencore's huge Katanga Mining copper and cobalt operation in southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo died on Tuesday and five remain missing, the mine's chairman said after a 250-meter pit wall collapsed. [250 meters is about 820 feet].
"Of the seven who disappeared, two bodies were found," Gustave Nzeng, chairman of Kamoto Copper Company (KCC), the joint venture that runs the mine, told reporters in the town of Kolwezi.
Rescue efforts to find the remaining workers were being hindered by heavy rain, Nzeng said.
...Deadly accidents are common in Congo's mostly unregulated artisanal mining sector, where diggers use rudimentary tools, but far rarer at its large industrial mines.
...The project is one of the country's largest and consists of both underground and open-air mines formerly owned by Gecamines. It started commercial production in 2008.
