Liveleak has this new video of a large landslide that apparently occurred in Jalisco in Mexico over the weekend.  I know no more details, but the impatient driver of the red car was lucky that the landslide did not occur 20 seconds later:

A small landslide at Hannover Point

The On The Wight website has a good description of how this video was collected.

Thanks also to Dr Phil Collins of Brunel University (@PhilCollins_UK) who tweeted that the start of this landslide event is available separately on Youtube:
