The rocks that tumble down the slope prior to the main failure.&nbsp; In some cases these are rotating around their short axis, giving very high mobility.<\/p>\n<p>2. The weather conditions at the time of the main failure &#8211; this is not a rainfall triggered event.<\/p>\n<p>3. The severe challenge of judging the track of the landslide from the road &#8211; the man standing on the barrier was very lucky to escape. The lesson here is to keep well away.<\/p>\n<p>4. The devastating impact of the landslide.&nbsp; The bus driver did well to stop short.&nbsp; It is not unusual for people to be killed as drivers try to pick their way through the debris on the road from the precursory events.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29153\" style=\"width: 438px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29153\" class=\"wp-image-29153 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2018\/11\/18_11-Benguet-1.jpg\" alt=\"Buiguias\" width=\"428\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2018\/11\/18_11-Benguet-1.jpg 428w, https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2018\/11\/18_11-Benguet-1-300x266.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The first part of the main failure phase of the landslide at Buguias, Benguet on Luzon in the Philippines on 4th November 2018.
