Oso landslide video: Devastated site memorializes victims, teaches about risks

[@Rashnak66]

standing there next to the highway one could never imagine that such a distant hillside could possibly slide that far.

Would be nice to see more engagement on this video. Developers and builders need resources to help them plan their work in such a way that doesn’t put others at risk. The state should be more vigilant in monitoring areas that pose this kind of threat to the communities in Washington state.

I lived about 30 mi from Oso when this happened. I remember watching it on the news and they showed this incredible footage of a car driving on the main highway with dash cam when suddenly the truck in front of it was swept away by a wall of mud, trees and debris. The guy with a dash cam survived the landslide. I've tried to look up this video on KZbin but can't find it anywhere. It was on the news at the time.

This is what happens when mature trees are taken away.

The Earth is alive and sometimes we get caught up in its yawns and stretches

May Father have mercy on thier souls, and the families and community continue to seek peace.

I blame Snohomish County. They knew John E Pennington had raped a child in Cowlitz Co WA, had been arrested for and charged with beating a 3rd trimester pregnant woman (2009), was off moonlighting on the east coast in violation of Snohomish Co Ordinance that prohibited salary employee from holding any other job when Oso happened, and was labeled a sociopath and autistic with no empathy for human life by Dr Marcia Hedricks (King Co) in charge of emergency management. Pennington is also the prime suspect in missing children in 5 states including native kids. John Lovick, executive, had been found guilty of masturbating in front of a six-year-old child but did Association of WA Cities and Bob Ferguson do? They paid off the victims and allowed both to hold government jobs that they had no education for nor experience to hold.

When you keep electing corrupt people in government you can expect things to go badly.

And they continue to over develop
