landslide that occurred close to the car park, apparently on 25th March 2017.\u00a0 The landslide was apparently shot by Eric Cotsen, although there is no more information available.\u00a0 The video has been uploaded in slow motion format, which is both irritating and interesting:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3ul219M59PM\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"
