Washout

Posted on the Landslide Blog (!) of the American Geophysical Union.  Filmed in Ontario, it shows the rapidity with which a washout can occur (and illustrates the tension between getting the incident on camera and safeguarding one's personal well-being).

Addendum:  See also the video linked in A. Fischer's comment (and wait for the culvert...)

  1. Reminded me of this (wait until you see the metal culvert come into view) which happened on a little road between Brunswick and Freeport, Maine.

  2. Hey, A. Fischer, that was right down the road from me in Brunswick.
