It makes you wonder what spectacular event never got captured on video. Pretty recently there was a landslide in Greenland, with a follow-up record tsunami whose wave traveled around the world something like 7 times over. That must have been epic to watch. Imagine filming the event that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Just a rock the size of a city slamming into the earth's crust at 20km per second.

[@stevengoodheart8750]

The Pantai Remis landslide was a rock fall and flood that occurred on 21 October 1993, near Pantai Remis in Perak, Malaysia. The landslide took place in an abandoned open cast tin mine close to the coast. This area of Malaysia is well known for its tin mining industry. Video footage shows the rapid collapse of the working face closest the sea, allowing complete flooding of the mine and forming a new cove measuring approximately 0.5 km2 (0.19 sq mi). Wikipedia

The Chinese info reads: "That year, I received a call by the owner of a tin mine (the element tin, not tin as in cans...). He said that his mine, which had been running for a few decades, was about to collapse. I rushed to the scene with my video camera and waited for a few hours. Finally, I took this valuable footage. Although the footage lasted only a few minutes, it is horribly exciting enough. I hope that this video can let you all appreciate the consequence of ruining our environment."

This video never gets old.

[@davidreece6193]

This is really old and has been answered many times. The Pantai Remis landslide was a tin mine that had been abandoned many years ago and had become unstable. Rather than it being a landslide it was a controlled explosion to fill up the site and create a new cove. The person who took the footage knew that this was going to happen hence they just happened to be there at the right time that the sea wall collapses. The sea wall had become unstable and the authorities arranged for it to be destroyed for safety. Here is a satellite picture of the mine after it was filled in. The reports all say that it was a manmade landslide not a natural one. It was designed to make a new cove and make the area more safer.

[@barfcoswill]

Ground water desalinates the substrate soil of an ancient seabed, the salt binds it all together but if the salt is leached out the soil loses its bonding and liquefaction occurs, quite common near ocean shores as retreating glaciers and a drop in the sea level leaves salty soil compounds. If there are underground springs, the salt is leached out, and salt is glue; no glue...run!

I'll never understand the folks who stand next to stuff like this just to get that perfect shot, it's almost as if they're trying to film their own deaths. On the flip-side, I appreciate the fact they they do, otherwise we'd never get to see this kind of incredible footage. A big shout-out goes out to Robert Landsburg; 'Landsburg was born in Seattle, Washington, and lived in Portland, Oregon, at the time of the [Mount St. Helens] eruption. In the weeks leading up to the eruption, Landsburg visited the area many times in order to photographically document the changing volcano. On the morning of May 18, he was within a few miles of the summit. When the mountain erupted, Landsburg took photos of the rapidly approaching ash cloud. Knowing he was going to die from the nearly supersonic pyroclastic flow about to overtake him, he rewound the film back into its case, put his camera in his backpack, and then laid himself on top of the backpack in an attempt to protect its contents. Seventeen days later, Landsburg's body was found buried in the ash with his backpack underneath. The film was developed and has provided geologists with valuable documentation of the historic eruption.' en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Landsburg 🍻
