Take a little time to appreciate the scale of this &#8211; the first image has some machines in the foreground that provide perspective.&nbsp; The first image shows the breach itself:<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/10_10-Hungary-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/10_10-Hungary-8.jpg\" width=\"424\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;The really revealing image is this one &#8211; the breach is to the right of the image.&nbsp; It suggests that this block had moved off its foundation and that the section close to the reach had moved forward.&nbsp; Note the material that has come through the resultant crack:<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/10_10-Hungary-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/10_10-Hungary-7.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The fact that the final failure occurred in a right angled bend in the dam wall is very interesting, as this is a point of stress concentration.&nbsp; If I were the team investigating this failure I&#8217;d be very interested to see the calculations of uplift force on the base of the dam.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As predicted, a number of interesting images are now available of the site of the breach that caused the Ajkai Timfoldgyar tailings debris flow in Hungary on Monday.&nbsp;
