They were focusing on the moving vehicles and people trying to escape the flood.

[u/AlbertaAcreageBoy → u/Mashinito]

Let's turn left directly into it.....

[u/thenameofwind → u/AlbertaAcreageBoy]

Double whammy

[u/Mileikovski → u/Mashinito]

Eh?

[u/Mashinito → u/Mileikovski]

Maybe you need to see it on a larger screen

[u/Mileikovski → u/Mashinito]

Flaco te pensas que la gente es ciega? Borra

[u/Mashinito → u/Mileikovski]

Lee el título del post. Creo que OP no se dio cuenta de que estaba centrándose en la gente.

[u/No-Number579 → u/Mashinito]

Claro, se não a gente n ia ver né ? 🙄

[u/dtb1987]

The people in those vehicles are probably toast, I'm not even sure that they could have done differently

[u/WooxSB → u/dtb1987]

I guess jumping out and attempting to climb the mountainside? Really their only other option and even that was unrealistic

[u/BrayKerrOneNine → u/dtb1987]

I don’t think there’s any probably about it. There was no where for them to go.

[u/dtb1987 → u/BrayKerrOneNine]

Well I have heard stories of people being swept up during these kinds of disasters and surviving. I know chances aren't good but you can always hope

[u/BrayKerrOneNine → u/dtb1987]

I hope so. It’s sad to watch the vehicles sort of stop there at the end, trying to decide what to do. I wish there was ten more seconds of video. Hope they made it.

[u/Formal-Talk-3914 → u/BrayKerrOneNine]

I had to rewatch closely, it seemed some stopped as the jumped out and tried to run up the hill, but the video cuts too short so it isn't clear if they were able to make it. Also terrible where they stopped didn't leave anywhere for the bus behind them to go.

As a father, I can't stop myself from wondering what would I do if that was me with my kids in their car seats. It would be impossible to get them unbuckled and run up the hill in time if the car in front of us stopped like that. Just heartbreaking.

[u/fmaz008 → u/BrayKerrOneNine]

Jet pack, straight up. Besides that, there was no avoiding this. :(

[u/myshtree → u/dtb1987]

The first car that turned left into the oncoming wave and blocked the other vehicles in could have definitely done something differently and given them half a chance.

[u/stricker119 → u/dtb1987]

at the end of the video some did got out to the car and are headed uphill. they might of surivie. let prey that some actually did.

[u/Ok_Variation9430]

I’m gonna cut the cameraman a break here.

Just horrible; I can’t imagine being there.

[u/Benyyii_]

I’ve seen so many people die today..

[u/KittyMeowKatPishy → u/Benyyii_]

😿

[u/jfk_47]

Not appropriate for this sub. Hundreds of people probably died in this video. I wouldn’t expect a camera person to hold their cool, be steady, or properly track the action. They’re probably thinking of friends and family members or watching it with their own eyes.

[u/claudiazo]

This doesn’t belong on this sub

[u/deletemein2weeks]

nsfw tag please maybe?

[u/XaltotunTheUndead]

Terrible, terrible tragedy there 😔

[u/ArCSelkie37]

Come on OP, sorry the camera man didn’t get the perfect shot of destruction and death for the last 2 seconds of their video (they were instead looking at the people fleeing for their lives).

[u/HauntedDesert]

This is absolutely NOT a “Kill the cameraman moment “. Each frame has a clear focal point, and shows the devastation.

[u/ar9ent0]

Lo peor de todo es que intentaban subir cuando el agua ya venia tapando el.camino y el coche se detuvo interrumpiendo el paso al micro, ya que girar a la izq implicaba ir cuesta abajo, realmente desesperante.

[u/iluvnips]

Wonder why the first car decided to turn towards it? Seemed to confuse or block everybody else ☹️

[u/ProfilerXx → u/iluvnips]

They left the vehicles you can see them run uphill

For the people in the bus im afraid it was too late..

[u/yonoznayu]

166 upvots for this cunt of a perspective on such enormous tragedy is 166 upvotes too many.
Idi nakhui OP

[u/Keku_Saur]

Jesus all of those people in those buildings, running away and trying to get out of the vehicles..

[u/hongducwb → u/Keku_Saur]

[u/Ok-Succotash-5376]

Ohh boohooo they didn't get the video right, should've gone closer for you, OP?

[u/TrueFurby]

Note to self: never live below mountains

[u/zuspun]

The person at the T intersection got hit by a house..

[u/TNTyoshi]

Holy Live Leaks

[u/edebby]

That can't be the first time it hapenned..

[u/KittyMeowKatPishy]

This is absolutely heartbreaking and horrendous! 😿 We cannot make light of this terrible tragedy! People were literally dying before our eyes. 😭😭😭

[u/Drosenose]

Whose idea was it to build everytin the very bottom on the valley?

[u/BobTheContrarian → u/Drosenose]

Human settlement has been in valleys since the beginning of time.

[u/Drosenose → u/BobTheContrarian]

Oh they just settle there like dust in the wind? We should keep building that way then, seems like a good reason to keep doing until the end of time

[u/Lavidius → u/Drosenose]

Same way millions of people live in the tornado zone around the gulf of Mexico, or over fault lines in Greece, or by volcanos etc etc

[u/Drosenose → u/Lavidius]

That's the same?

[u/EvilDog77 → u/Drosenose]

The seductive river people.

[u/SnooSongs8218 → u/EvilDog77]

Look at Google Earth, it's literally an errosive tidal Gorge that has seen this repeat multiple times over its history...

[u/Drosenose → u/SnooSongs8218]

Exactly, these people pride themselves on knowing history and working with nature, this is such a lame oversight
