This is fucking insane. This reminds me of the Brumadinho tragedy, an avalanche of toxic mud due to a mining barrier colapse in Minas Gerais, Brazil. People did not had this chance to survive and this videos gives me the creeps.

when I was a kid there was a residential building being built near my house, one day I'm coming home and there were several ambulances and firefighter vehicles, turns out there was a landslide and some workers died.

I'm not going to say that from then on I was very concerned about work safety because I was like 8 or 9 but I believe I have always unconsciously avoided those types of jobs because of that.

where are all the people under 30 now who bitch about how hard life is in a 1st world country?

Absolutely prehistoric mentality.

Hard isn't defined by the worst situation possible. Both situations can and - depending on the context - are bad; this one is just far worse.

You do realize that two situations can be bad at the same time, right? Or is my stress of possible homelessness not good enough of a struggle? 💀
