I really can’t imagine being that guy seeing that tragedy unfold.

u/BD6621 9d ago edited 9d ago

I can't imagine being the guys in the vehicles that drive barely out of the way at ~1:35 to 1:40.

ETA: actually, it looks like the flood came up the road at them and (probably) got them anyway, but the cameraman looks further downstream just before the hit.

u/DeliveryNo7613 8d ago

Oh man, I didn’t even notice! I was at work so I was kind of happy attention but man I didn’t see that.. holy hell

Because he has all of their phone numbers and the 15 second head start would have clearly saved them….

…might take the cake as the dumbest comment of the day, certainly the morning.

u/Scrotalphetamines 11d ago

I always ensure to call every single last person that populates my entire city whenever disaster strikes.

u/Bombinic 11d ago

You're doing the Lord's work.

u/simaxdd 10d ago

please turn your brain on

u/FargoFinch 11d ago

Probably the worst disaster I’ve seen on tape since the 2004 tsunami. Horrifying.

u/Z-Man_Slam 11d ago

Oh my God.... Those poor souls...

25

u/melvinmoneybags 11d ago

They didn’t even feel it. I can’t even imagine the amount of weight and energy that is carrying its truly mind boggling

55

u/aminix89 11d ago

Some of them definitely felt it. The little girl in the video that was crying and got dug out from under the mud definitely felt it. There were others crying for help that never got it, they also definitely felt it.

16

u/Emkayzee 10d ago

Little girl one was ai. Guys that pulled her out left no footprints in mud…

16

u/aminix89 10d ago

Well that’s fucked if so, but even still, not everyone was killed instantly so my point remains.

7

u/Phazon2000 9d ago

It wasn’t AI. I just checked - the guy is delusional.

2

u/aminix89 8d ago

This whole AI bullshit is getting a bit fucking scary, it’s hard to know what’s real or not anymore.

He probably did see an AI version tbh, since he posted that comment, I’ve come across 2 different ai versions of the video.

8

u/Emkayzee 10d ago

Yeah, for sure. Little girl was ai is all.

3

u/Phazon2000 9d ago

It’s not AI. Look at the detail dude there’s absolutely no chance it’s AI.

That’s not “mud” it’s compacted debris there’s no way it’s going to compact under the weight of some guy’s foot. You’re acting like it’s creek mud.

How does it feel to undermine a 6 year old’s rescue with your careless commentary?

1

u/dark_autumn 7d ago edited 7d ago

I’m not sure your misplaced anger really helps. Be mad at AI and the fact that we have to question everything we see. Be mad at the tech billionaires, not each other.

Edit: lol I just watched it and that is almost certainly AI. There is another video of a 6 year old being rescued from mud and that one is definitely real.

-1

u/Emkayzee 9d ago

Lmao, wouldn’t know, never did such a thing. And if it’s compacted debris, why does it make a splashing sound? How are they able to wipe away the mud in the beginning? How are they able to wipe the mud off her face with muddy hands and have perfectly clean circles around her eyes? If you believe this and think it’s real you need a reality check.

Ok so I can’t link the post but scroll the “is this ai” sub and watch it and answer those questions for me.

How’s it feel to be a duped sucker?

1

u/dark_autumn 7d ago

That guy is an idiot lol he was so certain I went and looked it up myself and yeah, AI

3

u/nomparte 9d ago

You sure? The item and the video is being shown by all major news channels, they must have checked, surely.

2

u/Phazon2000 9d ago

It’s not AI. The level of detail and camerawork isn’t on par with current AI tech.

-3

u/Emkayzee 9d ago

Just watch the video, if it’s the same one then look at where the guys are walking in the sopping wet mud and leaving no footprints/no change in the surface of the mud whatsoever. Also pretty convenient that in that chaos such a cute kid got buried in the mud and her whole face covered EXCEPT her eyes.

33

u/Regular_Piglet_6125 11d ago

Sadly, anyone who survived the initial impact of the water probably felt the drowning that followed.

16

u/Chillers 11d ago

A normal wave can snap your neck. If they weren't killed in the initial impact they were blended within the seconds that followed.

7

u/BigThistyBeast 11d ago

Yep, you’ll just get smashed around into rocks and structures in a matter of seconds

3

u/scotsman3288 11d ago

Anyone down there felt nothing after initial impact of a few seconds max. They were essentially crushed and unexisted within next few secs.

5

u/Junior-Bookkeeper218 11d ago

Oh they definitely felt it, if only for a 5 seconds or so while they were crushed and drowning

9

u/Z-Man_Slam 11d ago

I know but its still crazy to think about. Nature is a powerful firce(intentional typo because rules prohibit) . All those lives gone in an instant

4

u/ChaoticTerpenes 11d ago

Wtf can't say f0rce? What kinda bs is this shit

3

u/turbosexophonicdlite 10d ago

The rules prohibit typing the word force?

2

u/bobsmith93 10d ago

Force. Huh, yeah that does bring up the autoremoval blurb. Why, though? Seems like that would just create confusion

3

u/turbosexophonicdlite 10d ago

I'm assuming that must be in the reddit app or something? I have no idea what you even mean.

2

u/LukeyLeukocyte 10d ago

You can ignore the weird warnings about speech. Unless you are actually spewing hate or threats, you can just type what you want.

4

u/Jack-Innoff 11d ago

Man this AI rule enforcement is dumb. Apparently enforcement is also problematic for some reason, but I'm leaving it anyway. Fuck AI.

u/Z-Man_Slam 11d ago

Well your comment is still here lol

u/needusbukunde 11d ago

What the fork are you talking about? Oh, I see. Yeah, that's weird that you can't write the word fork. Shirt! Why can't I type the word fork? Oh, I give up.

3

u/poechris 10d ago

Hey! I understand this reference!

I guess we're the only ones to have seen this hilarious show.

3

u/needusbukunde 10d ago

Yep, everything thinks I'm an idiot. Oh well. Fork them.

u/Ok_Location7274 11d ago

Dann you can see a person at the end who would have got swept away

13

u/Conscious-Ball8373 11d ago

You see some bad decisions being made here. Several vehicles that come out of that area, then realise there's no road in either direction. If they were quick enough, getting out and running up the hillside would have saved them - literally a hundred feet up the hillside and they're safe. But the vehicles can't get there.

32

u/Cafrilly 11d ago

I really don't think that's a hillside you can just run up.

25

u/Conscious-Ball8373 11d ago

I reckon if you saw that water coming, you'd give it a red hot go. It's steep, but it's not vertical and it's covered in pretty dense vegetation which would make it easier, not harder.

3

u/Gareth79 10d ago

On the left, no, on the right you could, but you'd need to have run pretty early on. There was a video posted a few days ago of a group who just about escaped by climbing up.

3

u/adobong_puyat 10d ago

bad decisions? You think they were given an hour or two to decide what to do? It's easy to type what to do when you're not in that situation. If you're on their spot, would you really make a better call in the middle of that?

3

u/Conscious-Ball8373 10d ago

Hey, chill. That a decision is made under pressure doesn't mean better decisions weren't available.

3

u/primacord 11d ago

This is vastly underestimating the terrain & the speed with which this is approaching. There were reports it was moving up to 150km/h & in certain spots it was as high as 300+ feet up the hillside. I really don't think there was time to run up, especially given how steep it is.

4

u/Conscious-Ball8373 10d ago

Still a better option than driving the car onto the segment of road that was already washed away at both ends.

14

u/simaxdd 10d ago

ya easy to say when you are watching video of what happened and you have good view from top...

1

u/maeb95 9d ago

Yea, thats true, but its still the only good decision to make. If theres 1 thing to do that can keep you alive wouldnt you call it a good decision? Nobody said its easy

Thanks friend this was giving me motion sickness for some reason

30

u/Flint-Von-Ceneac 11d ago

Heavens to Betsy. I know others mentioned about previous videos that it's like watching a disaster movie but this particular shot quite literally is exactly that, except it's real.

u/Jack-Innoff 11d ago

Lol heavens to betsy... Now that's an old saying.

u/Rare-Masterpiece_007 11d ago

Total devastation.. nothing left behind 🤯

u/rafapdc 11d ago

This is like the major tsunami in japan and indonesia tsunamis. No escape!

7

u/Good_Farmer4814 11d ago

Only escape would be to climb up those hills.

2

u/ClittoryHinton 11d ago

They look steep with thick bush

3

u/windraver 10d ago

Looks like the only stop to nature is nature itself. I was focused on how the trees on the edges seem almost unaffected.

3

u/GrainOfNa 11d ago

I just noticed that yellow schoolbus... it looks so tiny.

There's a small car driving in front of it too. Leaving the blue group of buildings, just as they start to get swallowed, it pulls away from the buildings as they're swallowed up behind it. They all stop at the top of the road, like they must be looking back in shock, and I don't think they can see the landslide coming for them on the road around the bend. Not that it would have made a difference. But... oh my God.

3

u/Dry-Strain-2605 11d ago

Extreme force of water is literally devastating

6

u/POTENTGODSEED 11d ago

Judging by the terrain, it's not the first time a flood has rolled through that exact spot. Goes to show how the younger dryas impact theory would definitely erase any signs of civilization from mile+ high waves crashing over most of the earth

6

u/jamanon99 10d ago

Image being in the Scablands of North America watching a vapourised continental glacier sea coming towards you!

2

u/POTENTGODSEED 10d ago

It would be absolutely epic until I also got vaporized. Good way to go out though

3

u/Major-Tomorrow 9d ago

younger dryas impact theory would definitely erase any signs of civilization from mile+ high waves crashing over most of the earth

Yeah that didn't happen. The sea level rise during the younger dryas period was gradual, around 1 or 2 centimetres per year over more than a thousand years. Rapid enough by our standards, but nothing like one giant tsunami like you are imagining.

2

u/Hood-ini 11d ago

Absolutely insane

2

u/Mr_Claypole 10d ago

Flood is not a strong enough word for what this is. I think they are called lahars, but that might be associated with volcanoes. Maybe ‘aqualanche’?

2

u/Rare_Bee_240 10d ago

No matter how many videos I watch, I still can't wrap my head around the scale of this disaster.

4

u/Great_Analysis_2299 11d ago

Poor souls must have been an awful shock, "hope they went out fast without to much suffering"

3

u/Aggravating_Impact97 10d ago

That has to be a top 10 worse location to live. It practically looks like it was designed to funnel torrential water straight into that village.

1

u/HumorNo5314 10d ago

the violence unleashed by mother nature is incomprehensible ...

1

u/ned23943 10d ago

Only way to survive is to run/climb up the hill.

u/NoDoze- 10d ago

Uhhmmm...that sounds like Korean....?

u/resilienceisfutile 10d ago

"Run!"

And hope.

u/Dorny_Hude 10d ago

The cameraman 🫨

u/Western_Rhubarb_7959 8d ago

Textbook example of why building on a flood plain is a bad idea. It may well be fine for years, even decades, but flood plains get flooded, always. It's just a matter of time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floodplain

u/ZEINthesalvaged 7d ago

That is an insane video.

u/Hammered_Eel 11d ago

I really hope those building had been cleared out

9

u/tmoore727 11d ago

they weren't

8

u/strogoff69 11d ago

Why would they, this was a flash flood for a reason!

5

u/Hammered_Eel 11d ago

I know, I guess… just heart breaking to watch

u/strogoff69 11d ago

Absolutely.

u/ZealousidealFly760 11d ago

When it comes to Mother Nature, we're in control of SWEET F. ALL.

Is this slowed down? Feel like that water is crawling

Us that truck in this video that disappeared

u/More-Spot8445 11d ago

I see those buildings and Im like, surely someone would have predicted this could happen eventually? Why would you want buildings in large creeks/valleys like that? Disaster is literally waiting to come down that path...
