Volunteers are trying to bring in supplies up in elevation to where they are trying to send people to get out of the slides. Military personnel are escorting but even they can only do so much with the treacherous terrain. It's tragic.

    I worked for the PNG Geological Survey for 3 years, 1980-1983, as an engineering geologist. Landslides are a major factor in the geomorphological evolution of the New Guinea highlands.
    In my experience, slope failures virtually always involves elevated pore-water pressures. How they get to be elevated is obviously another question, and many of the features you mention can contribute.

      ​@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking Whenever there is water in a rock or soil structure, it makes it weaker. People talk about "lubrication", but that's not really it. Gravity brings blocks and particles together, making it hard to move them apart. Think of a metal plate on a surface: you can slide it easily, but with a heavy weight on it, much harder. If, however, the plate and the weight were submerged, the water pressure is working against that force between the plate and surface, making it easier to slide.
      So, a mountainside is basically held together by its weight; introduce a lot of water, and the blocks and particles are no longer gripping each other as tightly, the water is trying to push them apart. However, the force tending to try to pull the whole mass downhill is the same. At some critical point, as the water pressure rises, disturbance overcomes resistance, and it fails.

I asked the dude what he was planted and he showed me the seeds. So I asked if they would be grown before the rains and he said it would be fine. It was, in fact, not fine. Unless his plan was to plant along the road and the ditches and other peoples yards because after rain #3, his yard flowed away.

      Fair point, however wrong area. Palm oil is typically done in flat lowland rainforest areas with rich volcanic soil where the palms grow best. So, some of the lowlands of New Guinea are being deforested a bit, and especially in the Bismarck archipelago. But in highland areas like this, its just going to be subsistence agriculture.

    I strongly suspect that the landslide had no one cause, but was the result of a number of factors. Whilst there may not be ,any caves and cave systems in the region, the limestone would still have been vulnerable to rain fall. especially acidic rainfall... which would have been the result of the gases released from the smoke of the slash and burn areas. On top of that, with an El Nino event just passed and volcanic activity adding to the amount acidic rain, and the hillside stripped of protecting vegetation, Perhaps the hillside was simply a ticking geological timebomb.
    Had the hillside been under cultivation at any time? It's true plant roots bind everything together, but they can also break rock up, too. And once the plant cover has been cleared, for whatever reason, there's nothing to keep loose rock from shifting.
    My thoughts keep going back to the Aberfan disaster. True enough, the spoil heap slide was caused by a spoil tip that had been heaped too high, and had slopes at too steep an angle, and were thus unstable. However, what triggered the collapse was water, specifically a lot of rain, that mobilised the slopes and sent them sliding down on the village. If the hillside had become unstable, due to accelerated weathering and erosion, and lost its stabilising layer of plant cover, even a modest amount of water could have finished the job.
    One way or another, Nature has been giving us as a species a hard nudge to remind us of what it is capable of. Whilst it was in no way as major as the PNG landslide, there was one here in the UK that sadly claimed a young life. Excessive rainfall has been claimed the culprit in this case, but it is something we need to keep in mind. This is climate change at ground level- it isn't just big things like hurricanes, monsoons, and droughts that are being affected, little local events are too, and that can be just as deadly and dangerous as the big ones.

      🧮THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world"
      (The current conquest activity aims to show the end of man. Why is the conquest of the last stage? Is not it for All, in the continuation of the bullying work of strife and judgment, showing their true colors and sq so are grouped according to their kind after? It is about judging the sins of the people and then manifestation of different kinds of people, so is determined If they are bad or righteous. After the conquest of the conquest, the work of rewarding good, and punishing the wicked. The people who are entirely follows - mean thoroughly conquered - will put the next step the work of God in full universe; those who are not conquered to be put in darkness and to face disaster. The end is approaching for everything; The end of man is evidently shown in his eyes, and everything is strangled by kind. The revelation of the end of all mankind is done before the judgment seat, in the continuation of the strife, and the continuation of the last day's conquest. Everyone will show his true face to light. At this point, man was no longer the former he was, long ago the original image of his ancestors disappeared, because the unnatural descendants of Adam and Eve had long been captured by Satan, never again know the heavens ---day, And because the people are filled with all kinds of Satan's poisons. Thus, people have their appropriate ends.)
      Almighty God said
      The CURRENT CONQUEST activity AIMS to SHOW the END of man. Why do I say that captivating and JUDGMENT TODAY is the JUDGMENT BEFORE the BIG WHITE THRONE in the LAST DAYS? 💫
      Do not you see it? WHY is the CONQUEST of the LAST STAGE? Is not it to be unlikely to DEMONSTRATE WHAT KIND of END will be TAKEN by the TYPE of PERSON? Is it not to let everyone, in the continuation of the bullying work of strife and judgment, to SHOW their TRUE COLORS and thus GROUPS ACCORDING to their KIND after? Instead of saying it is conquest of mankind, it may be more to say that it shows what kind of end is for every kind of person. It is ABOUT JUDGING the SINS of the PEOPLE and then MANIFESTATION of DIFFERENT KINDS of PEOPLE, thus DETERMINING whether they are EVIL or RIGHTEOUS. ☀️
      AFTER the CONQUEST of the conquest, the WORK of REWARDING and CORRUPTION will FOLLOW. The PEOPLE who are FULLY FOLLOWS --- It means those who are COMPLETELY CONQUERED --- will PUT the NEXT STEP the PROPAGATING of GOD'S WORK in the WHOLE UNIVERSE; the uncultivated will be put of darkness and face disaster. Thus, MAN will be INCLUDED in EVIL, NEVER AGAIN SEE SUNSHINE, and the RIGHTEOUS will be TAKEN to GOOD, to RECEIVE LIGHT and LIVE in LIGHT forever. ☀️
      The END is NEARING for EVERYTHING; The END of MAN is EVIDENTLY SHOWN in his EYES, and everything is STRANGLED by KIND. 😪☀️
      How, then, can people escape the armor of grouping of each other according to type? The DIFFERENT END of EACH HUMAN CLASS is REVEALED WHEN the END is NEARING for EVERYTHING; And this is done WHILE in the WORK of the CONQUEST of the WHOLE UNIVERSE (including all conquesting work, starting from the current work).
      The REVELATION of the END of ALL MANKIND is DONE BEFORE the JUDGMENT SEAT, in the continuation of the strife, and the CONTINUATION of the LAST DAY'S CONQUEST. The EXCLUSION - APART from the PEOPLE by TYPE does NOT RETURN to PEOPLE to their ORIGINAL KINDS, BECAUSE of the CREATION of the PERSON DURING the CREATION, there is ONLY ONE KIND of PERSON, the ONLY DIVISION is BETWEEN MALE and FEMALE. ☀️
      THERE are so MANY DIFFERENT TYPES of PEOPLE. AFTER only a FEW THOUSAND YEARS of CORRUPTION that APPEARED DIFFERENT KINDS of PEOPLE, SOME are in the AREA of the DIRTY DEVIL, and SOME, those who are PURSUATED in the WAY of LIFE, UNDER the POWER of the ALMIGHTY in this way only gradually - increasingly The types are emerging in the middle of the people, and therefore only break the people to the kinds within the large human family. ALL people are having DIFFERENT "Father"; THIS is NOT the CONDITION that EACH ONE is FULLY UNDER the STATE of the ALMIGHTY, because it is out of the rebellion of man. The RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT REVEALS the TRUE ONE'S OWN TYPE of MAN, NOTHING is LEFT behind. ☀️
      EVERYONE will SHOW his TRUE face to LIGHT. At this POINT, MAN is NO longer the FORMER, he has LONG disappeared the ORIGINAL IMAGE of his ANCESTORS, because the NON-COUNTLESS DESCENDANTS of ADAM and EVE have LONG BEEN CAPTURED by SATAN, NEVER AGAIN KNOW the HEAVEN---DAY, and because the people are FILLED with ALL KINDS of SATAN'S POISONS. 😪
      THEREFORE, people have their APPROPRIATE DESTINATIONS. In addition, on the basis of their unique poisons that they are exclusively --- besides the class, which means it is excluded - besides them based on the extent of the oppression of them today. 🙏
      from "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". ... Holy Book ------ Fulfillment in (John 1: 1) "In the beginning he was Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ... and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev. 19:9,13)

      Incidentally, the NFL (American football) is the highest-revenue sports league, not just in the U.S., but anywhere. MLB (baseball) is #2. NBA (basketball) is #3. The highest-revenue soccer league is the English Premier League at #4, followed closely by the NHL (ice hockey) at #5.

It seemed that you were assuming that replacing an American football field with a soccer pitch would have made it more accessible to the channels' viewers when, in fact, it would have done the opposite.
      Even more problematically, though, unlike an American football field, there is not a set standard size for a soccer pitch. They can vary actually by a pretty large amount, even for FIFA-approved ones. So not at all useful as a unit of measure, except maybe to show general order of magnitude. And, if you want that, just pretend he said soccer pitch instead of American football field, as the latter falls within the range of possible sizes of the former. A standard soccer pitch can vary in area by more than a factor of 2, though, so extremely imprecise as a point of comparison for areas.
      If you want a more precise (than soccer,) but less American measure, though, an American football field is approximately 5,348 square meters.

      @@johnfoster6412 It may technically be true that there are more soccer fields than football ones, but virtually all of those are for school kids. Mostly just people who actually played soccer know or care much about it in the U.S., while virtually everyone in the U.S. is familiar with American football fields, even if they don't personally care much about football.
      The video did actually state the length of the landslide as 750 meters, then provided the football field example just to add perspective. It also showed a graphic of the actual shape of the landslide area, which, obviously, is not square or of uniform width. If you want an idea of the width in any given spot, it's easy enough to compare the known 750-meter length to the width in a given area to estimate how wide it was there.
      As far as comparison to objects, saying that this is unhelpful is objectively false and saying it has "racial bias" just makes you sound ridiculous. The average person (who isn't an engineer, scientist, etc.) does not deal with areas like 100,000 square meters on a regular basis and has little mental concept of how large that is (and this problem gets larger as the numbers increase to even less common orders of magnitude.) Providing comparisons to things that average people actually do have a reasonable idea of how big they are helps to provide perspective when dealing with orders of magnitude that people don't normally deal with on a day-to-day basis. This has nothing to do with which units of measure one may normally use, but rather just how humans think in general. Even your comprehension of your vision works this way without even consciously thinking about it, automatically comparing things of sizes you know about to determine distance to and/or size of other things within your field of view.

      Pompeii had days of warning and a lot of people left. This is known because there were communities of these people, speaking a Pompeii dialect, in other cities in the region after Pompeii was destroyed.

    I can't say exactly WHY this tone of voice seems creepy in this video, but there is no doubt that it does.

    This is a great channel. Please replace the narrator with a voice which can be understood. He sounds like he has a mouth full of oatmeal.

      Also are you going to post negative comments on every video? If it bothers you that much why watch? I can see by your comment history you just like to cry. Do you need a whaaambulance?
