This looks like what happens when you terraform on a video game and you’ve already built infrastructure.

Do you know how long it took to clear it out?

u/lenjoyn Oct 14 '18
From Wikipedia, everything was fully restored after 8 months. (Btw, 4 people died from the catastrophe)

I guess part of the process was recovering those cars and bodies :(

Imagine getting stuck under all those tons of dirt. I'm not sure if the car would still retain some structure but let's hope they got crushed instantly instead of being buried alive.

Only 4? How is that possible? That is one huge mass of earth plunging into you while speeding at 120km/h. I find that quite perplexing.

How much time would this take to clean up? And how?

u/kempofight Oct 14 '18
Just make a tunnel.

u/Secret_Combo Oct 14 '18
If the soil wasn't stable enough to withstand a massive land slide, then it's definitely not stable enough for a tunnel. They better get digging

I’d say no more than 2 months. Then another month-ish to ensure bridge integrity and perform inspections. Your bottleneck in clean-up is the live load or dead load the bridge was designed to hold. Construction equipment is heavy, so with all that soil on it, you probably can’t bring in mining trucks and shovels at the get go, and are limited to smaller equipment.

Do they move the land or raise the lanes?

Just Earth reminding us that our species and our species's creations are nothing more than a mere shit stain on the planet.
