Going to deposit a lot soil downstream, then all the floating flotsam may hang up. Remember Hells Gate landslide, yes it was caused by man. The blasting causes a small slide in 1913 and a larger rock slide on February 23, 1914 during which an estimated 100,000 cubic yards (76,500 cubic metres) of granite slide into the river just above the left bank outcrop that forms Hells Gate. Then eventually, they used more explosives to help fix their mess they created. it took a toll on the fish for decades.
There is probably a logical reason for that upright view. I could be wrong, but the video image appears too steady to be handheld. If true the cellphone may be mounted on a tripod of sorts that only allows for an upright position of the phone to shoot videos. We may never know for sure?!

Only thing I can think watching this is how much gold is being washed out right now, if you're cabin got destroyed you could probably make enough back in a week playing in the creek after things calmed down to rebuild.
Sorry, as a person on the other side of this globe, not US citizen or related, could anyone tell me the exact location? Last three nights I've been insomnia and suddenly got YT suggestion first night. Quickly found the river, but glancing up and down I couldn't figure exact location. Every YT vid I've been suggested so far (OK, only a small handful, but anyway) are only mentioning the river name, like it was a 1 mile river or so.......so, anyone? Thanks in advance.
looks like the worst has been avoided, it's draining and causing flooding and erosion but not a catastrophic dam collapse situation.

Bears too.

The natural dam has been breached. Rivers are not breached. They do the breaching.

Turned into a narrow gorge, so a fast choppy dirty flow looks to be the norm for a few day or more. Thanks for the upload.
Very good information and reliable coverage - Ty

@@Plutogalaxy that’s a good thing. Flush out and the salmon can hopefully do there thing.
Yeah, there will be a beautiful clear river again and all will be back to normal :)

Viewing the surrounding landscape shows us this is not the first time for this to happen.
Don't mean to sound pedantic but the Chilcotin river was the breacher. It's the landslide that was breached.

Guess they've not heard about landscape orientation up there in BC eh?

Oops, wrong reply to comment......
It will be interesting to see if the bridges can survive this flood
They are saying they will be fine! Not much more than the average spring runoff they say!
@@denniscrane9753 Apart from the one furthest upstream. Edit: That's the one at the end of the video. There's concern that the piers will get undercut.
man i didnt think it would breach that fast , was a huge blockage
Good video, but horizontal next time ?
So much wasted space.
Hope people living down stream are safe.

waaa I don't like the shot waaaa
It's a stolen Tiktok video, hence the vertical aspect ratio.

Nature is awesome..
In the literal/original sense of the term.
Earth: Ha, I've blocked you, river.
River: You fool! No earth can contain my liquid greatness!
“Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.” Sun Tzu.

Earth: you are just a small part of me, fool.
In occupied Tibet, the Chinese are building dams in the Himalayas. Cutting off south east Asia. A progressive tragedy.
This show why we should respect & take care of Mother Nature.
Wow!!! Tnx!
That's raftin' water now😊🎉❤
Was this filmed on a flip phone?
I 've seen some crap video, but this is right up there.
I suppose you would only liuke Oscar winning vids on YT. I 've seen some crap comments, but this one of yours is right up there.
@@edwardbernthal160 No. He's got a point. It's horrible quality because it's a cropped screen recording of a Tiktok video.

Does this go thru Vancouver metro area?
The Fraser runs along the south side of Vancouver.
Mother Nature does what she wants and how she wants it done
Why is it that everyone in BC, when they fly in a helicopter, they hold their phone in portrait mode
That would have been a cool Timelapse of the river overtopping the landslide and eroding it down.

Hopefully the predicted "wall of water" is a very small wall.
just depends on how fast the dam lets go.
@@danmerillat It is huge so they modelled a slow erosion type of event, let's see, they have been pretty good so far.
More like a small wall of heavy water,
Maybe you could just watch this video and see...
@@FartsMcNuggets
There is still mud and water backed up.
Thanks for the update. Choppers are expensive to hire so next time could you rotate your phone 90 degrees unless your posting to sik toc.
What bridge was that at the end?
Looks to be the Farwell Canyon Bridge, about 22 km downstream from the slide. View is from the north.
Where will the log jam happen
Where's the kayakers wearing Red Bull helmets?
they all got hit by the logs already
Landscape! Landscape!
THINK: Glacial Lake Missoula….90 Bajillion times BIGGER!!!
Hells Gate 1913=14
So much for the new lake. Hope everyone got out of the way
Looks like building relocators are going to be busy with what remains once this settles down.
I guess that is how the Columbia River Gorge was formed started in Montana thousands of years ago a big wall of water
Nature is deadly and magnificent. Stay off the Fraser everyone.
Thanks for the footage :D
increase the scale of this my 10k - just imagine how wicket that would be to see rip n tare through the scablands.
I was going “yeah they filmed landscape” and then…😢

Ya i figured it would happen like this where it topped over and erododed rather than the plug just bursting.
Anyone been kayaking down that yet?
Creature craft would be perfect!!
All the soil being washed from the sides of the river is going to go somewhere... this is going to change it's shape for miles.
I heard they thought it was gonna be a more gentle discharge when it went...guess not.

That’s an angry river
Hopefully people listen and we don't lose anyone

My previous comment was misguided. Nature taking the proper course is welcome and a true sight to see!
Would be nice if there was sound.
That's a rough ride for the fish.
When the salmon start up the river and get to the slide area, they're going to look around and say to each other, Hey, this is new 😅
Just imagine what the great flood did in a short time.
