Landslide


This occurred at a river port near Manaus, Brazil, last month.  This video is a bit annoying to watch because of the time-lapse effect of the CCTV and the relentless panning by the operator, but it's still an impressive display of the force of nature.  The containers consumed in the slippage were said to be transporting electronic equipment.

Via Dark Roasted Blend.  It's hard to find any news reports of this event; there is some discussion at Reddit.

    Dave's Landslide blog had a piece on this- albeit with limited information- at the end of October.
