This video shows a huge landslide appear to take out a portion of an entire mountain. It must have been a sight to behold…and the rumbling is quite ominous. The title of the video notes that it took place in Kyrgyzstan in September of 2020, but there is no other info. I also checked the Landslide Blog, my usual go-to resource for this type of thing. Unless I’m missing it, he doesn’t have any info on this landslide in recent posts. It’s possible I missed it, or the video is mislabeled and it took place earlier than September. If anyone knows more details on this one, drop me a note or leave a comment. Thanks to Jim Withiam for sharing this with me.

Nile Landslide Destroys Large Stretch of Washington SR 410
A massive landslide has destroyed at least a quarter-mile of State Route 410 in Washington State, about 10 miles from Naches in Yakima County. It has also damaged about 12 structures including residential homes and quarry buildings and diverted the Naches River. The media has been referring to it as the Naches Slide, but the personnel from the Washington Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources who have began investigating the slide as well as WSDOT are calling it the Nile Landslide.
