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. "

Jammu and Kashmir village snapped by landslide; 7 dead 31 missing
Tuesday, 9 September 2014 - 3:10pm IST | Place: Udhampur (J&K) | Agency: ANISadal Village, about 55 kilometers from Udhampur, has been completely submerged by a landslide. Road connectivity to it has been snapped from Kainthgali onwards.
Till now, seven dead bodies have been recovered and about 31 people are still missing in the area.
Rescue operations continue, with local police, residents giving a hand to National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel deployed in the area. Air force choppers have also been deployed and people from adjoining areas have also come forward to help in rescue efforts.
Common masses of nearby villages are deeply gripped by fears of further landslides. A local resident of the area said, "It is a bigger tragedy than we could have ever imagined as many families are under the debris. We are waiting outside helplessly praying to God".
Local inhabitants have alleged that if this rescue operation had started earlier and in time, then they could have saved a few lives.
They also alleged that no temporary shelter, food or any other relief material has been provided to them by the district administration. They are demanding an early relief for landslide victims.
Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) of Udhampur, Khalil Ahmed Poswal said, "Around 22 to 23 houses have till now buried in the debris. However, about 13 people have been safely escaped from the landslide and seven dead bodies have also been recovered."
"We have found some human organs in the landslides. 31 peoples are missing but efforts are on to search them. We are facing problem because the houses have been dislocated at about 400 meters from their original location," he added.
"Due to some connectivity problems the heavy machinery is not able to reach the spot. But manual and other equipment are used here to trace the missing persons," said Poswal.
Sadal is situated in the hill top area of Panjar in the Panchri area of Udhampur District in Jammu and Kashmir. It is about 70 km far and is one of the remotest and far flung area submerged under the landslide that occurred due to heavy rainfall.

Landslide Closes Popular Forest Service Road on Haida Gwaii
Officials unsure what triggered the slide
http://www.cftktv.com/News/Story.aspx?ID=2164634
A landslide on Sunday evening has closed a popular forest service road on Haida Gwaii, which links Highway 16 with the west coast of Graham Island.
Ministry of Forests spokesperson Larry Duke says the slide happened sometime between 7 and 7:30 on Sunday night, on the Rennell Sound Road, at about the 11-kilometre mark.
There were no injuries reported, but the slide poured a large amount of mud and rocks onto the road.
At this point, he's not sure what triggered it.
"We had a bit of rain in the area, but what's interesting is it's not the typical levels of rain that would typically trigger landslide events, but talking with folks in and around the area that they report some pretty heavy rainfall. We've got a good sense that it was a combination of the rain with the steep steep slopes in the area plus the area had quite a bit of old blowdown that might have contributed to things," explained Duke.
He says there were about 60 people at the various recreation sites along Rennell Sound at the time of the slide.

Another North Otago coast collapse

The Waitaki district council said a new section of the limestone shelf under Beach Road, between the towns of Kakanui and Oamaru, has broken away this week and is back to only one metre from the road.
In May an 80 metre long slip cut into the cliff edge below Beach Road and the road was subsequently reduced to one lane.
The council was investigating buying farmland to shift the road at least 20 metres inland.
Council roading manager Michael Voss said the slip was a safety concern and a fence was being put up on the road's shoulder to alert the public.
A geotechnical engineer was assessing the cliff face's stability.

Rescuers seek survivors of China landslide
(Photo: AP)
BEIJING (AP) — Hundreds of rescuers hunted Friday for survivors of a massive landslide in southwestern China that killed at least 14 people.
More than 600 members of specialized search and rescue teams were working in a pair of destroyed villages in Guizhou provinces, state media reported. They came equipped with electronic devices to detect signs of life, as well as backhoes and other specialized equipment, the reports said.
Another 11 people were still missing and 22 left injured from the collapse of a mountainside on Wednesday night following three days of heavy rain.
The official Xinhua News Agency said 77 houses collapsed or were buried in the landslide. The breaching of a small reservoir during the landslide also caused flooding that covered houses up to their roofs.
State-run China National Radio cited villagers saying they had complained for years to authorities about weakening of the mountainside caused by past mining operations.
Unrestricted mining and quarrying is frequently blamed for causing landslides in China's remote, mountainous southwestern provinces.

Another Massive Landslide in Dariali Gorge (Aug 20)
A landslide hit Dariali Gorge, close to the Russian border, late on August 20 for the second time in three months.
Two workers employed on construction of a hydro power plant are missing. The landslide severed the road linking Georgia with Russia, as well as the pipeline through which Russia supplies gas to Armenia via Georgia.
The Kazbegi-Zemo Larsi border crossing point with Russia has been flooded and its infrastructure damaged.
Earlier in May, a very large landslide occurred at Devdoraki in Georgia, blocking the strategically-important Dariali Gorge.
The latest landslide, which originated at the glacier, is reported to be even larger.
The landslide, and the resulting damage, are sufficiently serious to have needed a visit to the site by the President of Georgia.
