Aerial Video of US 89 Landslide

February 21, 2013 rockman Geologic Hazards Comments Off on Aerial Video of US 89 Landslide

I saw this video on the ADOT Facebook Page.  The failure seems larger than what I though based on the photos from the ground.

US 89 Bitter Springs Landslide Video Updates

March 2, 2013 rockman Geologic Hazards Comments Off on US 89 Bitter Springs Landslide Video Updates

US89DrillingYouTubeThumbSince I last posted about this landslide, ADOT has added several videos to their YouTube channel.  It’s clear that this highway is going to be closed for the long term.  ADOT and their on-call geotechnical consultant tasked with this project, Kleinfelder, are currently drilling boreholes to attempt to characterize the failure surface and determine what the geometry of the failure surface is.  They are installing at least 10 inclinometers to try to determine the location of the slip plane or planes at depth and they have two extensometers to measure if any additional movement occurs.  They are also performing LIDAR surveys as well. Check out the videos below.

Teenage Girl Buried Alive in Beach Bluff Landslide

She was buried up to her chest, and a passer-by dug her out with his bare hands while more soil and rock fell around them. Story at KTVU San Francisco. See a nice oblique aerial photo of the beach prior to the landslide here. Those slopes don’t look particularly stable to me but what do I know?
