This Home Fell Off a Cliff Still Intact

Caught on tape was the shocking moment a house, still intact, fell into the Yellowstone River. Yellowstone National Park is dealing with horrific flooding due to a torrent of rain, rock slides and melting snow. Electricity has been cut, there are mudslides everywhere, bridges have been washed out and roads are destroyed. Parts of the region have been evacuated, and officials have announced that the park is closed indefinitely. Inside Edition Digital has more.

Whoever built this house needs to be recognized and their name written in the record books.

Building a home next to a river isn't a smart idea yet it happens all the time , then the own will say I didn't expect it to happen this soon lol

Whoever bought this house needs to have his/her head examined. Hope they removed family photos and memorabilia in time.

THAT'S A WELL BUILT STRUCTURE!! Most houses today would fall apart just hanging over the river unsupported, NEVERMIND FALLING OVER AND INTO THE RIVER!!

[@redsiberian]

It’s well built but horribly placed now it will contribute to polluted water bc someone wanted a on the river view.

[@williams2187]

@@redsiberian I was going to argue that the “on the river view” part isn’t necessarily bad. My whole city, Grand Rapids, is built along a river (smart thinking with our name, right?). But then I saw that there were houses behind them, and that they definitely could have built the house a bit further back. Maybe they ran a business that involved the river though, so I won’t judge🤷‍♂️ it’s unfortunate either way

Legend has it that this house went over the Yellowstone Falls and came out intact. It is so sturdy that Yellowstone N.P. rangers use it as a floating command center for water rescues as well as an emergency shelter for stranded tourists. 🤣

one of this rare cases when the owner feels proud instead of devastated :D also when it stops floating around, engineers should study it and update the books on how to build houses.

[@davidz4327]

Hypothetically? It could happen. Realistically? As a person with absolutely no expertise in any related field, I seriously doubt it. We don't see if or where the house made landfall, but ultimately the house was most certainly submerged in torrential waters. If, before that happened, the house became lodged close enough to stable land for someone to jump from a second story window that was still above water before that happened, and the second floor was intact with little enough water flow to allow someone to make it to that window, it might have been possible.
