Well as a LOTR tragic, I thought this was pretty awesome

Holy fuck burgers!
Awesome.
Not sure if it was the same incident but very similar, our lecturers for our introductory geology class at Uni (half year course for Snivel Engineers) showed us a film of a landslide like that.
I'm guessing it was another incident from like the 60s or 70s as the film quality wasn't as good as yours.
Like the vultures we were we kept on getting them to replay it every few weeks
Glacial lacoustrine clays. Fuck how is that for memory from 32 years ago? Not uncommon up there IIRC.
Glacial moraine gets picked up by the wind and dropped (loess) on the lake (hence 'lacoustrine'), and settles to become a seriously unstable clay.

Yep, classic -- if the mineralogy is right.
Didn't know you were a snivel engineer ... awesome matey. Great career.

The Guardian's guide to why you shouldn't enjoy that
OH dear, it looks like you’re enjoying something which the Guardian says you shouldn’t. Here staff writer Nathan Muir explains how to feel guilty about everything.
You’re probably privileged
If you’re reading the Guardian looking for something to feel guilty about you’ve got too much time on your hands, so feel guilty about that. You probably need to check your privilege anyway. You might not feel privileged, but you are compared to someone, eg. an Eritrean farmer.
Whatever you’re enjoying has got a carbon footprint
If it exists it’s got a carbon footprint, and that means it’s worse than a person who once enjoyed a Woody Allen film. Don’t mind us though, we’re just a newspaper you’re either reading on sheets of dead tree or a smartphone manufactured in a sweatshop. Feel guilty, but definitely keep reading.
Someone, somewhere, could take offence
Even if you and your friends enjoyed a thing, there’s undoubtedly some weirdo somewhere who misinterpreted it and thinks it’s disgusting. You didn’t consider their feelings though did you? You’re practically a Nazi.
There’s another angle you haven’t even considered yet
Fortunately I, a smug Guardian writer, have discovered the uncomfortable truth that casts the topic in question in a whole new light. One you should feel guilty about. I won’t tell you what it is in the headline though because I like sounding smart and desperately need you to click through.
Find out more at our Masterclasses
We can’t even begin to cover why you shouldn’t enjoy that thing in a single article. Luckily our How To Feel Guilty course will teach you everything you need to know about self-flagellation. Tickets for the two-hour workshop are now available for just £350 per person. Do we feel guilty about that? Certainly not.
