affected by rockfalls and has remained closed since.\u00a0 This image, from the <a href=\"http:\/\/info.geonet.org.nz\/download\/attachments\/2196288\/Christchurch_response.pdf?api=v2\">GNS Science

pretty interesting:<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b_pE_5Wx53U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"

the road has suffered from the effects of landslides on both the slopes above and the slopes below the road level.\u00a0 It is also clear that the walkers (who probably should not have been on the road) did not like being videoed by a drone!<\/p>\n<h5>A house collapse from a landslide in India<\/h5>\n<p>A belt of unseasonal weather in India and Pakistan has generated heavy rainfall, floods and

interesting<\/a>.\u00a0 The associated text says &#8220;It was the time my father was driving on that road to get home when the first small rock with the first dust came down in front of his car !!<br \/>\nHe managed to pass that point unharmed and then he called to tell me what just happened me so i grabbed my camera and headed to this point where this LANDSLIDE happened!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The real action happens at about 3 minutes 30 seconds, although the run up to the main collapse is quite cool too:<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
