That concrete plant, up the way there, sure knows how to make a ton of the stuff, though I think the aggregate they’re using is too big. 😁

I wonder how big is the mixer. It seems though that they’re making different mixes up the hills. The first mix was hard, and the ratio of stones in the mix is very high. The last mix was probably a flush, as it contains more 💦 and sand. No big stones 🤔

[@JesseH]

Just add cement. It's free.

[@Hutch5321]

Really amazing video! My hat's off to the civil engineering team that tries to manage that stuff!

[@TalRohan]

weirdly the falls actually slow down the flow by dropping it vertically to a stop, then making it run back on itself

Pretty awesome up close. But I would be worried about a second, higher wave coming on top the first and wiping you out. From where you are standing you can tell the level of flow can get much higher!

yep, always have an eye up front and ready to run as fast as you can ;) I always had a view up to the first step up and if you watch close I wasnt very concentrated on the camera guiding ... stay safu ..

Pieces of the mountain sluicing down the mountain. I liked the smooth rounded boulder visible on the left side of the sluice before the flood. It took a lot of rollin' and tumblin' to polish that big rock.

after the flow, it looks like right before the next flow, look to the first 20 sec of the movie ;)

[@hipeopleidkwhatisgoingon]

release the choccy milk!

[@jesser5127]

At 4:17, I thought that was a critter running in my attic or on the roof. It is apparently the sound of the wind or the boulders falling. What's the siren for? Is there a sensor at a point upstream that detects water/debris flow? Or does it do that when it is about to rain heavily?

[@viperus1234]

There are multiple radar sensors detecting the change in flowspeed and riverbed hights, that trigger (up in the mountain) the alarm signal all along the riverbed, so you have time to leave the area. Rainsensors are also in place.. There was only one critter around, and that was me breathing heavy with shaking hands :) wind I gues ..

[@nigelkthomas9501]

Or liquid cement!

[@towelietowel4513]

This is more of a controlled mudslide

[@josephastier7421]

The flow is so dense you can see white puffs of water vapor due to compressed air formed under the falls being released at the surface.

[@viperus1234]

Tought of these white puffs, that they are kind of dust from the kolliding boulders ... :)

[@josephastier7421]

@@viperus1234 The ones I'm thinking about are bubbles of air, compressed by the heavy flow, that then rise through the mud and burst at the surface. When they burst into 1 atmosphere pressure, they decompress and you can see the water vapor. There are certain variables in play, in some videos it is really obvious and in others it is hard to see.

[@dlasierraanyork0196]

[@bubamaranovichok4901]

Free concrete anyone?

[@tag7100]

If you find this place on Google Earth (Leuk, Switzerland), you can see how all the sludge and rocks has built up in the river just downstream from this video.

[@viperus1234]

Yes, the washout is used for building things, to the west you see a "gravel company" - the riverbed is changing very quickly. Snow melting in summer, heavy rainfall and its washed out ..

[@slooob23]

Why is it like that

[@combatmedic3785]

Illgraben is a mountain in the Swiss Alps, where the mud flow originated.

[@viperus1234]

take a look at Google earth, the flow originated at the eastern sides of the mountain ;)

I think if I was there in person, I would definitely not be constipated. Up to the 1990's I only ever saw two rock/debris flows on film - one was at some distance, the other was shot by moonlight. Now there are probably hundreds of them on KZbin. If you search for "huayco Chosica" you will see some scary ones in Peru.
