1. The Mannen landslide<\/h5>\n

Unfortunately the Mannen landslide in Norway<\/a> continues to creep without failing.\u00a0 TV2<\/a> is heroically maintaining its webcam, and the residents in the valley below remain temporarily homeless.\u00a0 The Mannen Direkte<\/a> webpage has a new movement graph with data from 1st to 6th November:<\/p>\n

The dramatic slowdown in the rate of movement appears to be associated with the arrival of much colder weather.\u00a0 This suggests to me that the landslide is still in a secondary creep phase, meaning that there is deep uncertainty about when the landslide might start to fail.<\/p>\n

A fatal landslide in Switzerland<\/h5>\n

Meanwhile, in Switzerland a landslide on Wednesday night<\/a> struck a house in Bombinasco in the south of the country.\u00a0 Judging by the image below, the landslide was not large, but unfortunately it destroyed a house, killing a 31 year old woman and her three year old daughter:<\/p>\n

3. A landslide in Quebec derails a freight train, leaving a worker missing<\/h5>\n

Over in Canada a train carrying iron ore was derailed yesterday<\/a> close to the Moisie River, north of Sept-Iles in Quebec.\u00a0 The landslide appears to have been a joint-controlled rockslide, which forced the locomotives and a number of railcars into the river:<\/p>\n

Sadly the driver is unaccounted for.\u00a0 The train had three locomotives, of which only one is visible in the above image.\u00a0 The image below suggests that at least one of the locomotives is submerged:<\/p>\n
