Culvert failure video
Posted by Dave Petley
Whilst this is not strictly a landslide, the video below of the failure of a culvert makes very interesting viewing. The ability of the channelled water to erode rapidly is a lesson that is often forgotten.
The video was captured by MWTW.com photojournalist Kevyn Fowler in Freeport, Maine during a storm.
