Camera phone footage of the deadly Banjarnegara district landslide in Indonesia<\/h5>\n

Hidden in the depths of Youtube is a quite amazing video, uploaded on 13th December, of the Banjarnegara district landslide in Central Java, Indonesia<\/a>.\u00a0 The current known loss of life from this event is 83 people, 25 people remain missing<\/a>.\u00a0 I cannot guarantee the authenticity of this video, although I’ve certainly not seen it before.\u00a0 I must caution you to watch with care<\/strong> – whilst there are no directly horrific scenes, the sense of utter chaos and panic is disturbing – really disturbing. This is far from easy viewing. The video can be found here,<\/a> and as usual I have embedded it below:<\/p>\n

A key question of course is whether this is genuine – well first it is clearly a landslide disaster.\u00a0 This is the best screenshot that I have found from the video:<\/p>\n

\"Banjarnegara<\/a><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

This is from 38 seconds into the video, when a wave of material (very clearly a flow) can be seen.\u00a0 A comparison with this image (via Voice of America<\/a>), from a different angle (and note this is very foreshortened), suggests to me that it probably is the same landslide, but this needs confirmation:<\/p>\n

The video stops half way through – the text thereafter says “thank you for<\/span> watching; <\/span>thanks for<\/span> his visit”, or something similar.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The video does capture the utter chaos of the situation during a catastrophic landslide, and should be a spur to all of us involved in landslide work.\u00a0 The losses from this landslide include<\/a> 20 school children, 11 more children aged less than 10 years old and two elementary school teachers.<\/p>\n
