Thank you for the exceptional footage and lack of stupid music was wonderful.
Idk some reason Stevie nicks singing landslide was playing in my head during the whole video?
Agreed
yes agree, lack of loud punchy music was great
@@jmontoya1677 you meant Billy Corgan
@@lilFougie czcams.com/video/k4M53xndqiU/video.html no I meant Stevie nicks
That swale/ditch dug out at the bottom of the hill is ingenious. It catches the rocks and protects the village.
Don't be fooled. Its actual purpose is to protect the rocks from the village.
They have a traffic light system there and monitoring of the mountainside, movement turns the lights red.
Excellent example of using technology to mitigate hazards
@@boblatkey7160 i soiled myself laughing at this!
That's what I thought too. Very smart
I noticed that too...
Even the landslides are neat and organized in Switzerland.

Sim. São os DESLIZAMANT GOURMAND or LANDSLOUNGE.
It seems that way 😄
What a stupid comment
When Switzerland helps crooked 1%ers to hide their illegally-obtained fortunes, they are very “neat and tidy” about it.
I have been waiting around for 1.5 million years, and soon as I turn my back...
That's how the tree crumbles! It waits till there's no one around, then it silently falls down the mountainside without so much as a bark!
When one thinks of mountains one thinks of something sturdy and impermeable, not something that can crumble into dust before your eyes. Nature is constantly in motion.
This soil is young, same situation in New Zealand. After all this decay only the hard parts remain, which is why some countries have mountains made of solid granite or other hard rock.
@@Praise___YaH why believe any of this?
@@andralfoo
Sir, YaH is The Creator of The Sun, Moon, Stars, The Earth you walk on and the air you breathe, YaH is The Original Creator of “man” (Genesis 2:7) and it was YaH they Crucified for the sins OF “man”, NOT some jesus
That’s why
@@Praise___YaH and why believe any of that?
@@andralfoo
Ask YaH, when you call out YaH’s Name, now He is listening to you, so ask YaH yourself
Very impressive. Usually we think of landslides as one massive avalanche. But here it's a piece-by-piece collapse under its own weight when gravity overcomes the cohesive forces. I guess what makes the difference is the absence of water.
the same way people cave in to their depression because of the lack of Living Water in their lives
gravity is magnetism, not mass [source: Field theory ~ real physics, not that math based drivel]
My family name was Fürster, but when we moved to the the British colonies in the mid 1700s they changed our last name to Furst. We originally lived on the border of what became Switzerland and Germany. The name means Forester and when names were given, you would often be given a name related to your occupation. We were responsible for maintaining the forests in mountain sides and valleys above the towns that were at the base of the mountains. After you have seen this video you can understand that this was a very important position. The forests protected the villages from rock slides in the summer and avalanches in the winter. I am proud of our family name and this video explains why.
I knew someone named Miller, do you think they worked in a mill back in the day?
@@j0m4m46 Sure, just like Fisher, Shepherd, Cooper, Smith and so on.
Wow. Of course, some of the trees went down along with the soil and rock in this video, but having forests is still better than not having them!
To the best of my knowledge, that was also the family name of my grandma, the mom of my father, but we are Jewish. My father side definitely has a German look. Forests are essential for preventing landslides and at the end of the day their roots do more good than harm. Forests naturally stop growing about above 2200 meters. You can clearly see the tree line when climbing Pigne de Arolla in Switzerland. Below that line, they are the protector of mountains.
Foresters cut trees down to use for wood. That's a very valuable occupation but they didn't protect anyone from rockslides or avalanches. A rockslide or avalanche will easily take out any trees in its path.
Excellent engineering regarding stopping those rocks so they do not end up on the roadway. Your entire video was remarkable.Thank you for sharing it.
What are you taking about.? Did you watch the video till the end? The whole road is gone.
Watch till the end. The entire road is still there.
@@kajzersoze8051 are you even watching the same video...?
@@Praise___YaH cope
@@Praise___YaH A psychiatrist can help you with that problem.
Absolutely stunning in 4k like that. You can see every individual boulder or small rock falling individually. I wish everything on CZcams was in 4k.
Yes. I wish this website wasn't run by neo-fascist leftists, but we can't have everything we wish for, can we?
People's internet companies would double the price if everyone was using up bandwidth for 4K. I think even most cable internet providers cap at like 200GB/month or something like that. In 4K, that would eat up very quickly.
weeell, with most content nowadays I'm glad I don't get that amount of detail.
more videos would be online if they were B/W...🤣. less storage consumptin.
@@Praise___YaH Steb22:59
You are a freak.
6:04 for the main slide.
But watching all works too, it's weird to see it fail progressively from seemingly random places.
Thanks for that. Glad I read the comments.
And the camera was panned down to look at sliding dust and rolling boulders when a large piece of the material supporting material broke off. Drone operator seemed to care more about cinematic shots than getting the shot.
It was fascinating seeing it literally disintegrate before my eyes. Something that we see as immovable just falls apart
That's not the true main slide. In fact, that's just a "small" landslide. The real huge one is the rubble you just saw in the right.
@@paxmusica you say that like the exact moment of the collapse is predictable
Thank you for not putting music over it. Great footage.
As of May 2023 the village has been temporarily evacuated because the mountain has moved a big amount in the last year and a big avalanche is considered imminent.
Nice to see a place that’s well kept and no one is throwing trash all over the ground.
Interesting to see how the initial stages of the collapse trigger the rest of it. You can imagine the effect of the rumbling of falling rocks on the weak areas. It is like the effect ripples down the existing cracks. Very cool.
I like how the beginning happens, a couple of rocks here, a few there. Then as the stability in the ground underneath the rock, which is usually only kept in check by a handful of trees and 15-20cm of dirt, but as soon as that is shaken loose, then it is a veritable mad rush to the finish line. Thanks for no crappy music, but a tiny bit of audio would have been awesome to hear the sound of that avalanche... though it is probably also a good thing, as I watched a vid of a snow avalanche onces when I was younger, and it scared the crap out of me.
sound would have had to be recorded separately. if you record sound with a drone (idk how many even have microphones), all you hear is the drone's very annoying propeller noise.
with this being from 2016 your looking phantom 3 pro maybe- they do have sound on the cameras but not very good. I own one. I dont think it would even fire the audio gate at that distance.
Growing up I always thought mountains were forever. I love geology but it wasn't until just recently I was enlightened that mountains are not immune to crumbling and toppling down.
If you ever get a chance to visit Alberta, Canada, check out Frank's Slide. An entire mountain face collapsed, burying a town and killing almost everyone asleep in their homes. The rubble and boulders are still there, and the town remains buried, the bodies never recovered. It's an eerie place.
The Appalachians were once 15,000 feet high. Look at them now.
I'm sorry to be "That Guy" But how in God's name, could you not know that? Especially in this day and age.
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM I've been watching more and more programs on the subject now in my life because I'm able to do so. Being a Primary Caregiver to my parents I put alot of interests on hold. They are now passed on which has freed me up to enjoy the diversity that which is on the Internet. Also there are more amazing landslides being filmed.
I read somewhere that there used to be a mountain range higher than the Himalayas on what is now the Grand Canyon.
I can only imagine living next to that mountain and hearing that in the night
That'd be fine by me, I couldn't hear a thing.
I'm sure he's talking about he terrifying noise of absolute silence.
If you heard that at night when it happened during the day, that would be a very strange set of circumstances.
Late one night I came around a blind corner in Niles Canyon (Fremont, CA) and there was a 12 ft diameter boulder right in the center of my lane. I swerved and checked my shorts.
It’s amazing how after over 1 million years of that mountain being there, it just decided to quit. Great footage!
Europe faces exceptional dry summer/dry autunms/dry Winters. Even in the forests. The mountain didnt decide anything.
@@mikahist4155 No, God did.
My shaker of Himalayan pink salt says it expires in June 2022. Wow, that rock salt has been sitting underground for millions of years, and we dug it out just in time! 😀
@@hidel308 That's a bit careless of you. In the sense that everything in the Universe is the result of God's laws (physics, etc.) then yes God did. But He "did" it 6/12 billion years ago.
@@DeflatingAtheism When it comes to things like that (e.g. bottled water), the expiry date is about the storage container (usually plastics) leaching into the product than the actual product going bad. Well, that and making people re-buy things they don't need to.
All these trees just standing around, not helping the ones that fell over.
Just plain assholes
Smh
Smh my head
I crown thee "funniest comment"
Everybody for themselves, something humans should do
I can't get over the fact that I'm sitting here watching a mountain come down. It's cool to watch . . . Mother Nature is awesome.
I'm more amazed at the incredible video from the drone and the filming of the landslide than I am of the actual landslide.
both were thrilling and dramatic !
That spot has to be even scarier in the winter and avalanche season. That area is quite magnificent!
THIS is a prime example of the power of nature
Incredible footage! Thanks for sharing.
Wow. An epic event captured on video! Incredible rock-like fluid flow. The power of water and gravity!
That was pretty cool! It's a good thing that it crumbled in a lot of small chunks instead of one big massive slide!
Weird how YT algorithm decided to put this on my feed now, but, good choice YT. Awesome vid.
Now that’s “between a Rock and a Hard Place”.
And all over, too !
Kind of anticlimactic you call that a mountain coming down....... I call it a small landslide.
The constant rise and fall of Earth. Erosion is an amazing process. Thanks for posting this!
Incredible timing, fantastic work! Thanks for sharing.
Awsome. Nature never ceases to amaze me. As humans we think we're so clever but nature humbles us again and again.
We're created by nature so we're part of it.
and holds no regard for people. It does what it does.
I live about 15 minutes from here and there are some huge boulders meters away from the road. Every time I drive by it always looks different.
Very cool. Great that someone was there to capture the show!
Breathtaking! It’s not everyday you can watch something like this!
Incredible footage and superb drone work!! Great job!
Amazing footage and what luck to be there when it was happening. Very skillful drone photography as well.
Those boulders ripping down through those trees at the base is terrifying.
Great photography.
whoa! That escalated quickly... Well captured. Always love seeing Nature in action.
People just don't seem to understand the gravity of the situation.
I would not feel so all alone....everybody must get stoned.
@@simonjones3863 haha, always stoned 🤩
Yeah. It gets ever worse. It is all downhill from here.
Reminds me of a group, the Rolling Stones 😂
Dean PD That’s heavy
MY GOSH... IT IS SO BEAUTFULL VIDEO LOOK VERY GREAT VIDEO..WONDERFULL
For some reason watching this was amazingly satisfying. Thank You!
This was like a meditation for me! Thank you for the silence ❤️
Mother nature shedding her skin! awesome video!
surfertube44 erm that makes it disgusting
Very educational, when you see dirt and stones moving on a mountain or hillside know there is more to come.
this is the time a wus would be perfectly right and understood. lol
Been watching alot of these and this is the best land slide video ever and 4k!! Hell yea
I sure love the beauty of Switzerland. Was there when I was in they U.S. Navy , utterly breathtaking. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes. It's literally the only country with mountains, so I'm not surprised that it was beautiful. Other countries should also get mountains, so they could be considered as 'utterly breathtaking'.
@@CooManTunes .....you aint been to Scotland?
@@geoffdundee No, but it doesn't matter. According to the simps original comment, only Switzerland is allowed to have mountains that look 'utterly breathtaking'.
The drone picture is so clear and stable, that's remarkable.
I can buy one tomorrow at Target for $400. Programmable flight plan. Syncs to my phone. It's a new world.
+Mike Smith What is the name of the device you're speaking of?
smartacus88 probably a cheap Walmart rip off breaks in a month or motor goes out but the extended warranty only covers the blades and the shell. lmfao 😆
Alfonso Dag it was me in a hot air baloon
@Alfonso Dag I thought so too! Really amazing! The ever changing planet!
Awesome- this looks more like a textbook illustration of fluid dynamics... nothing really just sags and falls suddenly, it's more like a constant flow of material... really cool...
Destin from "smartereveryday" is really into fluid dynamics. He has a video you should watch where he's blowing "smoke rings" into each other that are made of dyed water. The rings break into smaller rings... Just watch it!
Tell that to my damn jowls.
It was so fluid in its makeup. I thought in the beginning it might be water driven the way it was pouring through holes and cracks.
It was water driven and human driven/engineered...you can see the pipes thet were put in to help the erosion along.
It’s crazy how at this angle those rocks look tiny but each would be big enough to turn a full sized human into paste
Amazing footage. Great use of drone. Too bad they didn't set up a mic someplace to record what surely was incredible sound.
you go anywhere near the base of that you're risking death....
Nick Nogalo I wonder how they'll clear off the area over the road without risking being buried.
Jonathan Stewart is
Would have been amazing
Yep drones are cheap in quality....poor cameras and poor sound. Okay for amateurs.
that was outstanding. Thank you for uploading such awesomeness
Nature is certainly amazing and very dangerous. Outstanding video. Thank you so very much for Not adding music.
Imagine living near the end of that land slide, hearing the constant crackling and tumbling of debris, rocks, sand, trees.... thinking "Is this the one that is going to hit us?" , or wondering if during the night it fully goes...
Like anything, I'm sure they get used to it.
Am I the only one that thought one of the mountains would be there one minute, and completely gone the next?
Recommended gang
From a geological point, that's what happened.
@@kencarpenter1363 That is true. I was just expecting something quick and major to happen from the title they have. 🙂
@@holylandfan3275 Try the speed control. I use that sometimes when I find something a little too slow but still interesting to watch. And of course you can use the slider to jump around. If a video is more than 10 minutes I will often jump around just to see if it gets interesting. If not, then I've only wasted 30 seconds. Actually, its really all a waste of time, but at least its a distraction from all the virus crap.
@@kencarpenter1363 Thanks. I forget about that. Yes, I just ran an errand and saw a lady by herself in the car with a mask on. All you can do is shake your head. People like that lady are keeping this propaganda going. I feel sorry for her that she is THAT scared. 🙁 🙏
This video is dedicated to the few brave trees that died during this rockslide. RIP trees, you will be sadly missed.
That's how the tree crumbles! It waits till there's no one around, then it silently falls down the mountainside without so much as a bark!
Yeah, the only living thing killed, I think. Animals knew what to do. I'm thinking the ONE tree that told t he others they should leave is cussing his fate and the other pines. 🌳🌳🌳
Can you imagine waking up to that view every day!!!!
I used to! I miss it badly!
Not me I’m from NW Oklahoma, you can see where you’re going sometimes 20 miles before you get there. That’s home
Astounding footage! I'll be watching this clip many times
Wow! Turn that drone around though, I want to see where the town is from there.
When the trees know they only have a moment left and they make their goodbyes😔
Well. it was their fault in the first place. Their roots have penetrated the rock and made it into sand :D
What ARE you wittering about - when trees know?!
"Gentlemen, is has been a privilege photosynthesizing with you tonight."
I dont understand whats there to like and dislike about this video. Its a natural phenomena that occurs . But yes who ever has filmed it..its in a good way so I like for that👍🏻
Great job of capturing this event.
Its amazing the amount of damage a drone can do.
This is "The Butterfly Effect: Drone Version" :P
How clever!
Should have used smaller batteries
Slaughterbot drones: mountain version.
Powerful prop-wash?
Absolutely gorgeous video! If anyone wants to see Mother Nature just doing what she does, this video is it!!❤️
Beautiful and just a bit terrifying as well. Fine work!
Fascinating stuff ! Thanks for sharing this.
You see, this is why we can't have nice things!
:-)
Like beer in vending machines..
MadderHat 👏👏👏👏😂
Lmao!
missed the best part looking down at a boulder falling down a slope
You had to watch.. closely.
The main thing is that it is not filmed vertically by someone who is more interested in watching themselves than getting even decent footage. This is a win in my book.
And one thinks an avalanche of snow is bad! Losing a side of a mountain is incredible! I wonder if a tremor caused that, something had to precipitate that kind of loss of a mountainside -- those poor trees! They must have known it was going to happen or they wouldn't have that amazing camera footage! What a beautiful little village at the beginning of the video, what a view of the gorgeous mountains behind the one that slid!
actually i think the trees are doing the land slide.
their roots dig deep and loosen the rock
Wonderful footage. Thanks for not playing music with it.
Just imagine having to figure out how to put all that back together properly if they didn't have this video
this is cool, I love the forest and mountains 🦅🦉
That was neat to watch ...thank you viewpoint. This is something that people probably rarely ever see
Hearing the rocks slamming against the trees or the dirt rumbling down the hill side would have been nice. thanks for the video.
I was waiting for this mountain to fall down for a long time, then the video ended...........
lol same here. 8 minutes and 36 seconds of my life I'll never get back. Well maybe 4 minutes i fast forwarded lol
Just wondering where you were both educated if you believed an entire mountain collapses all in one single event. LoL
ever heard about Krakatoa Helena????????
MrKveite1. Yes. Big difference between a volcanic island and a mountain. You should know that. Read up about the difference. (can't believe I had to write this). I wish you well and goodbye.
Exept it was a mountain on that island rushing down into the sea....
wow! that's really impressive. Some of those stones got ALOT of kinetic energy. Biggest one I noticed that stayed intact half way down probably was near 50 tonnes
Tons*
@@Cookie-gw1vv Tonnes in Europe!
This is a perfect example of being in the right place at the right time.👍😉
The scale is unimaginable. Many of those tiny looking rocks are the size of a grown man; and some of the larger ones, the size of an automobile.
Heftig !
Zum glück hetz unädra kei Siedligä.
Cools Video !
Can't wait for your next grass growing vid.

'Till the landslide brought me down" - Stevie Nicks
Tom Scott has been there one and a half years ago. I recognize the area. They have a traffic light to stop the traffic on the part that's next to the ditch when a radar detects a rock falling. It was installed in 2017.
Wow. That was intense! Did you see all those rocks sliding down that hill?
no. i must have missed that bit...........................
At 7:18 we see the culprit. And underground stream had been undermining it, and burst forth in a waterfall when the rock finally gave way.
Same as Aberfan. (50th anniversary .... last Friday 21st Oct).
Or, that's just a shiny rock...
pahtar good eye
Optical illusion. It's just white rock underneath. Also there is no coal on that mountain. Wrong geology for it to exist.
It wasn't a underground stream, or you would see at least a small lake or river beneath the foot. It was melting permafrost due to global warming.
I was to Switzerland as a child. Took the cable cars,,,lol never felt such fear, never seen scenery so gorgeous.
stunning photography - quite mesmerizing
Too bad there's no sound. We get slides in our area, and the sound is awe-inspiring.
Well, this was once the bottom of a sea.
Such a beautiful scenery....... then the mountain came tumbling down. Still its such a beautiful place.
Nice drone work. Thanks for filming
Watching the entire thing.
Incredible!
The power of nature.
Thank you! Solar winds doubled in 2014. It's been fascinating to track how incidents like this have grown at a faster pace in the last 7 years. Liked and subbed!
Fascinating! Thank you!
Much appreciate that moment in time. I wonder how long that little patch of trees had been there?
Excellent video. enjoyed it very much. a pity there was not audio. was likely as good as the video.
you wouldnt have heard nothing but the motors from the drone anyway unless someone else used a parabolic microphone near the scene and then later synced the audio to the video
Whole event captured ?
You should've started recording a loooooong time ago to catch the start, & you'll have to wait an awful long time for the end too.
Good luck with recording 10 years 24/7 with a drone to do what you suggest.
i was on that road in 1992 the mountains are unbelievable have not seen anything like that since.
This is the way God allows his angels to paint on earth. Beautiful portraits.
