New
landslide video: a fascinating and huge Russian earthflow
An
absolutely stunning new video has appeared on Youtube
overnight showing
footage shot from a road of the movement of a very large and very
spectacular earthflow in Russia. It has to be said that the
videographer was as cool as the weather in his or her slow retreat
from the path of the landslide:-
.
There
is no information about the landslide, except that it occurred on 1st
April 2015 at Zarechnyi. Liveleak
also has the video of the Russian earthflow, with
a label that says Penzenskaya
Oblast.
If this is correct then it is in an area on the western side of
Russia. Given that this would be the thawing season, the
conditions would be right for this type of landslide. But there
is also a volcano called Zarechnyi on Kamchatka, although I assume
that this is not the location of this landslide.
Does
anyone have any more information?
It is thought to have been caused by unstable spoil heap associated with a coal mine.
