"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. "

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!

The death toll in Monday's landslide at the site of a hydropower project in China's southeastern Fujian province has risen to 35 people state media said on Tuesday.
State news agency Xinhua cited sources in mountainous Taining County as saying Tuesday that one other person remained missing, despite earlier reports putting the death toll at 34 with four others unaccounted for since the disaster early Sunday .
"We were asleep when the mountains began to jolt very strongly and before we knew it, sand and mud were flowing into our room," survivor Deng Chunwu told the official Xinhua News Agency. It said he and three other workers survived by huddling underneath a supporting pole.
Their room was shifted a distance of 10 meters (30 feet) by the flowing mud, Deng said.
A number of others were being treated in hospital for bone fractures and other injures, Xinhua and state broadcaster CCTV said.
More than 600 rescuers, including firefighters and police, were searching for the missing and attempting to clear sections of roads leading to the site that had been made impassable by mudslides and flooding, hindering efforts to get heavy machinery through.
The project in mountainous Taining county in Fujian province is an extension of the Chitan hydropower station, an affiliate of state-owned Huadian Fuxin Energy Ltd., and was expected to begin operations in August 2017, Xinhua reported.
An official at the county department, who gave only his surname, Wei, said by phone that the cause of the landslide was still unclear, but that the area had seen rainfall in the past few days............
Hundreds of tons of soil, rocks and debris crash down on to the Bournemouth (UK) seafront demolishing the public toilets
A huge landslip causing hundreds of tons of soil, rocks and debris to crash down on to the seafront of Bournemouth below - demolishing a block of public toilets and damaging the cliff railway - is being investigated by experts.
Further landslips are now feared after the large section of the 100ft tall cliffs collapsed between Bournemouth pier and Boscombe pier on Saturday night.
It is believed a combination of recent heavy rain and a sudden drop in the temperature overnight could have triggered the cliff fall, which was discovered at 5am on Sunday.

22 Pupils Injured after Landslide Hits School (4/21/16)
Twenty-two pupils were injured Thursday after landslide hit a primary school in south China's Rong'an County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, local authorities said.
The landslide which occurred in Liuliao Village of Fushi Township at noon was triggered by persistent rain. The landslide caused the collapse of the walls of the school's classrooms, said Jiang Yu, deputy head of the county.
...Wei Lan, director of the land and resources bureau of the county, said a total of 1,600 cubic meters of rocks on the hill at the back of the school collapsed and rolled down to hit the school.

The massive crack splits the land in two on the famous Jurassic Coast in Dorset.
The resulting crevasse measures about 250 yards long, up to 3ft wide and 4ft deep on April 12, 2016.
Thousands of tonnes of earth have given way and will continue to slip away, changing the landscape of the renowned coastline.

Japan woke up to scenes of devastation yesterday after a second huge earthquake struck the nation, bringing the total death count to 40 and rising.
The 7.3 magnitude earthquake destroyed buildings and roads, causing massive mudslides that even washed away entire bridges.
More than 1,500 people were injured and 30 killed by today's quake, and authorities say they expect the death toll to rise.
It struck just a day after another 6.4 magnitude shock, killing ten, and the country's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, said it is now a 'race against time' to find survivors.
Mr Abe said: 'Nothing is more important than human life and it's a race against time. Daytime today is the big test. I want rescue activities to continue with the utmost effort.'
The exact number of casualties remained unclear as rescue efforts in southern Kyushu island continued, but they were hampered by the landslides that destroyed bridges and roads.
Challenging: Rescue efforts have been made more difficult by the fact that landslips have destroyed roads and bridges in the region
Landslide: Buildings were razed to the ground and huge areas of land slipped hundreds of metres onto the towns and villages below
Efforts have been made more urgent by the fact that Japan is expecting heavy rainfall tonight which will make the search even more challenging.
The epicentre of the quake was near the city of Kumamoto on the southern island of Kyushu and measured at a shallow depth of 10 kms (6 miles), the USGS said.
Television footage of the area showed fires, power outages, collapsed bridges and gaping holes in the earth.
Residents near a dam were told to leave because of fears it might crumble, broadcaster NHK said, and the 400-year-old Kumamoto Castle - which survived a century of wart - in the centre of the city was badly damaged.
Nearly 200,000 homes were without electricity and 410,000 are without water after supply systems were damaged, Japanese media reported.
TV footage showed people huddled in blankets, quietly, shoulder to shoulder, on floors of evacuation centers.
One massive landslide tore open a mountainside in Minamiaso village in Kunamato Prefecture all the way from the top to a highway below.
Another gnawed at a highway, collapsing a house that fell down a ravine and smashed at the bottom.
In another part of the village, houses were left hanging precariously at the edge of a huge hole cut open in the earth.
Shocking drone footage shows the extent of the damage, with buildings razed to rubble, roofs of houses collaped and the streets strewn with debris.
Factories producing auto parts and tech components for companies including Sony Corp and Honda Motor Co halted production as they assessed the damage.

10 Hectares Vanish Overnight in Ontario Landslide (Mar 28)
Ten hectares of land slid into the Bonnechere River downstream from Renfrew on the night of March 28-29, clogging the fast-running river with trees and clay.
With the river blocked by trees and debris, water backed up behind the blockage. It rose more than seven metres near the landslide, and about five to six metres upstream in Renfrew.
Osipenko, who heads the Renfrew County Paramedic Service, could only watch and wait. Sooner or later, he said, “the river always finds a way through.”
But first the muddy floodwaters washed away a cottage, damaged a small hunting camp, poured water seven feet deep into a house, submerged the Renfrew sewage plant, and got into the basement of the hydroelectric plant.
Then after seven to eight hours the blockage finally broke loose, releasing all the debris into the Ottawa River.
As long as trees and mud blocked the river, a gauge downstream showed the rate of flow as zero. When the blockage burst, the flow jumped to 250 cubic metres of water per second — two and a half times the normal rate for a spring runoff.
