Wow, it's like the mudslide is malevolently chasing the other boat, complete with log-torpedos! Amazing footage, great upload.
Yes. Their response was a little slow at first but then once they finally decided to not be killed they were quite competent at avoiding death.
I dropped a log torpedo this morning myself.
@@dano1307 ew what the hell lmfao
@@msruag hahaha dont even remember saying that. Probably true tho.
@@dano1307 lmfao i feel you lol
How many of us could have reacted as fast and as appropriately as that couple on the opposite shore? I'm in awe! Way to go, folks!
How many of us wouldn't have put ourselves in that position? A little fool foolhardy , I think .
Standing there waiting for it is not reacting fast. More like once they started moving they had no choice but to move fast.
@@JaySparky At least they got out - that means that they reacted fast enough!
@@TAKIDANI Pfft, pure speculation, reflecting nothing more than bias and baseless judgmentalism. Both you and Jay Souza (the nitwit who is among those replying to your comment) _haven't the least clue_ as to their perspective or circumstances that put them in that position. *What we **_can_** observe, what we can **_know,_** is that, unlike the uninvolved cameraman, is that the two women saved themselves by immediate and decisive action.*
They had plenty of time to get away, they knew what was happening, don't dramatize it...
"Kill the engine!"....and from that moment on, we never took advice from Bob ever again!
Gregg Anthony right.....I was like that’s a special kinda stupid when you hear sounds like that coming from the forest!
That's what I was thinking there is someone on the shore, and he says kill the engine with that noise coming I would have been like. Hollering GET OF THE SHORE & LET'S GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!###
Giving skipper orders like that the whole time, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the last time he was invited out lmao
A million tonnes of debris coming your way and yeah, lets kill the engine and see what happens...
Truth
When you hear the crashing of trees you almost expect to see a T-Rex come through like Jurassic Park 😅
Lmao!
Or my ex, 'cause she smelled food!
You need to edit that in.
Basically it's a sound you don't want to be close to
Please someone make a cut of this with Roberta crashing thru the trees/epic roar
If that other boat didn't pull out at that exact second....... Wow!
Yes just imagin if it had pulled out 10 mins before, then this video would be less exciting :D :D :D
Donny Zarra 3
I imagine the heartrate was near critical for those two on the other boat.
Quê cê falô?
that's what she said
I love the fact that this was filmed by professionals. Steady camera, and no "Oh my god oh my god!!" the whole time. Good work, considering the precarity of the event.
You’re joking about steady camera, right?
He is …..I’m sure 😂😂😂😂…..or maybe he was pissed ,,
And they missed the action with the main flow and the other boat escaping by the skin of it's teeth.........
Why the hell would you yell kill the engine when you see a mudslide getting ready to come crashing toward you lol
they are news guys and wanted to capture the sound
Because they obviously aren’t pansies..
@@Gadmeer So they will be dead in the water but at least they will have great sound?
@@basinstreetdesign5206 Pop culture of posting a video or picture on social media to get views makes a lot of people stupid. There are so many people and animals getting hurt while the person behind the camera just takes footage when they could be helping or getting out of harms way. It’s really disgusting.
Well to get that Darwin award mention.....
Second boat nearly gets harpooned by log torpedo 1.01
Looked close!
Nev lol
1:01
I can only imagine the consequences from one of those logs contacting a boat as it torpedo's out of the water. That was a good learning video should a person ever hear the cracking of trees, but it all happens so fast, and so huge. Both those boat were even lucky as it was, and further out would be better, but hindsight is always 20/20. Mother nature is so beyond a grand scale, even in a small setting.
Nothing would happen if they touched a boat, they're just floating, they're not being launched.
@@SirKolassThey're not "just floating," and they absolutely _are_ being "launched" -- rather violently -- by buoyancy...and if one of them had contacted the boat, it could've caused anything from a minor cosmetic scratch, to a catastrophic wreck.
they literally got int the boat and left at the absolute last possible moment wow talk about playing ding dong ditch with deaths door.
They just mushroom-stamped mother nature directly on the forehead.
Wow like literally like. Literally like I feel literally like literally.
Man I'd like to see a video from the other boat's point of view. Makes you appreciate life the next day you wake up after a close one like that.
Wichito You don't ask for much do you? Maybe a dear in the middle of the mudslide can provide some footage from his cell phone.
@@Hay-tn6hz *deer
I doubt they had a chance to film or even thought about it.
Such a great video, I have watched it a dozen times and still amazed by it.
you see those tree trunks fire out of the water like champagne corks?!?! like full fledged torpedos
Scary!!!!! Terrifyingly so!!!! Imagine hearing something smack the bottom of your boat so you look in the water and these giant logs are headed right for the bottom of your boat, from the murky depths, with so much force...that's the kind of stuff that gives me nightmares.
Make up your mind
That caught my attention too. My first thought was that those people weren't out of danger. What we couldn't see going on underwater was the frightening part.
Five minutes ago. Five minutes ago. -Richard Gere

Lmao
Ha ha haaaa
A gerbal was up my butt
Camera man bro just tell em 5 minutes even though it was 35
Me inside the outhouse at the top of the hill: "I told you I was lactose intolerant!!! HHNNGGGGG"
That's going to be a good spot to fish in a couple years
Why?
Prolly all the hidey spots for fish the logs made good breeding ground I think
Will make w/e lol
Yup, snag city for fishing lines lol!!
Joseph Harrigan Only a true fisherman would know that! My son would have said the exact same thing!
Don't kill the engine, as you might need to get away fast.
@6 6
Lol...
Yeah, that was the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time...
I think at that stage they knew they were out of harm's way with the bigger stuff, and wanted to kill the engine to prevent smaller debris hitting the spinning props. More damage would happen to them if were spinning, making a bad situation worse.
Val, buddy, you DO know that a boat's motor running does not necessarily equate to a spinning propeller? Geez...
And that kids is why people go missing when they go alone.
“Sitting on the dock of the bay, watching that slide wipe me awaaay...”
Great comment! Otis would approve.
That's not how the words to that song goes.
My generation!
Finally, when somebody describes an epic flood or mudslide it actually is this time!
im glad the guy saying 'cut the engine' isn,t related to me..
Ikr!!!!!!!
Seemed like a ood duy....
Nature is awesome, it recycles everything sooner or later. Nice to see someone recording it.
Thank you so much for sharing. Great shots!!
I see this was posted 9 years ago. When I started watching I thought this was recent in BC, although I’m sure this was pretty much what’s been happening there. Wow, great learning video. I knew about mud slides but never thought this could happen in an area that doesn’t look that steep? Going to make me wary about being anywhere in the forest after heavy rains. I was just going to say “ I guess this is pretty rare, but after last week in BC, maybe not.
Thanks for clarifying the date on this and the liquefaction is no joke
I guess no one yells "timber" anymore. I am getting old.
I heard the trees yelling it just fine...
FREE TIMBEEER !
I say it
But they use the word "epic" a lot. The only ones who refer to this mud slide as EPIC were the ants who lived on the bank. Of course they say it in ant language which is mostly silence.
Settles the whole "If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound" argument though.
Please tell me they punched the "kill the engine" guy in the mouth after that.
That guy was half smart though. Look and listen and know where it’s coming from so you know where to go. The lot of y’all would’ve probably ran straight into danger
I would of took a wild guess it was coming from the trees Infront of them and not the open lake to either side and behind them
Why? Smart move. Youre located at the middle of the lake. I would want to know where the danger is coming from before blindly moving anywhere. What would you have done. Gunned it link e a fool blindly running into possible danger? Young n dumb son.... Old n smart, that's the difference.
@@johnschumer2174 old and smart eh? Yet you think they are in the middle of the lake when they aren't they are by one shoreline as people who know which lake it is have already said in other comments. Old and smart lol more like old and dumb firstly presuming I'm young because you have a different opinion which differs from facts, and secondly not having a clue about the situation yet acting like you know everything
@UCInUktsWBsprokCF7-xUmXw he's sat on the boat with them you muppet clearly 100- 150 meters from the shoreline, the other side of the lake is miles away the video clearly shows that lol old blind and senile more like. Want to carry on arguing against clear facts which every can see in the video? Lol man you're stupid
Super video. Just amazing in so many ways...
That cracking sound is just incredible
Vindictive trees after that second boat - wow
Second boat: "30 seconds ago! 30 seconds ago! 30 seconds ago we were there!.."

@@jalilbahyani1861 You need help
This guy wasn't even close compared to the other people in the other boat.
They had been on shore a few minutes earlier.
But, 5 minutes ago...5 minutes ago, we were there, sez Richard Gere. LMAO
It’s things like this have shaped the entire world. I love watching nature
Very slowly real quick
It's things like this that are killing our world, these events are not natural they're caused from over harvesting of our forest lands. They've been raping the BC forests for years and this is the end result!
@@billyboy1093 mudslides like this tend to result from heavy rain after large fires when lightening strikes cause crown fires. While increasing over past 30 years, they have ALWAYS been part of temperate rain forests. Hydrophobic soils with no organic matter . Clear cuts leave slash anymore as erosion control. It's not black and white clear cut as it might seem to a casual observation
@@billyboy1093 don’t worry man, the earth will balance itself out. If you live in a house made of wood or drive a car that uses gas or electric then you are raping the world as well. A little bit of rape is still rape.
@@sixfigureskibum Yes, but that is not always the answer. It does happen when there has been prolonged or heavy rains where the soil has been completely saturated. The weight of the trees and liquifying soil can no longer hold things together and gravity helps pull everything downhill. One form of natural erosion.
That segment from :54 to 1:02 is so scary. It really looks as though the slide is chasing them. They are barely keeping ahead of it and then two stripped tree trunks come almost straight up out of the water as if they are trying to spear the boat. You don't make a much narrower escape than that!
That part was CGI
@@jmrichards5910 suck farts JM
I went there, to Johnson's Landing, a few years ago to pay my respects to the people who died in the slide.
The road to Johnson's Landing is nerve rattling... the slope is very steep... the road VERY narrow along the mountain...
I was travelling and camping in the area and have returned a couple of times because it is beautiful and remote.
I camped across the lake from JL, the nights were pitch black...
It is such a beautiful region...
Humans must stop cutting down the ancient forest!!!!!!
Let it heal and maybe just maybe, the slopes will regain their stability...
Is that why the mudslide happened? I was wondering how such a lush screen forest have a mudslide... And I was wondering where all those logs were from
@@SandraMartinez-tl3ih Because trees have roots - they retain the soil. Cut down too many trees, years later the roots will start rotting away and that when you may run into problems.
In Haïti and Madagascar people did same way against forest till it have raised no more.silly humains...
@@djcrownvic7017 But wait, doesn't forests need to be regularly maintained in order to minimize the amount of mudslides etc? Of course complete logging isn't advisable either but I don't think you're supposed to leave it to its own devices either if you want the area to be safe for humans.
@@TurtleGamers1 Of course, but if you do too much cutting it's not good either.
"5 minutes ago" they were on the hill, got off the hill, got on a boat and started filming the hill...?
Uhh... The heck did you guys do to the hill?
THIS NEVER GETS OLD
The cracking sound of the big trees like toothpicks is my favorite part.
Totally agree !! I was going to comment “ I love the sound it makes “
Glad you enjoyed it. 4 people died in that landslide a day or 2 earlier.
Awesome footage catching that freak of nature, how often does anyone catch something like that? thanks,....I'm happy the other boaters got away safe, and didn't wait around to see where that noise was coming from. I know for certain I would have got out of dodge myself.
Crazy the way logs were being fired out of the water like missiles around 0:56! It would have been a bit more than a couple of hull breaches there if they hit, a small boat like that could have been smashed to pieces. All that after barely making it away from the shore! Lucky people! 🍀
Dangerously beautiful, it’s how the mighty mountain grows
😳😳😳
Hello verified UA-camr
Good lord those logs shooting up at them like spears ! I can’t believe how close they got ! Having to escape in reverse must have been freaking terrifying 🤣
I had the headphones on and that was crazy I couldn’t imagine what it was like live wow
Thanks for sharing, dude.
Awesome catch
You all were incredibly lucky, thankful no one was hurt.
4 people died at that spot a day or 2 earlier as their homes were flattened.
just incredible....SO glad those others got the hell outta there when they did!
Great video guys, glad you're OK👏
At first I was expecting a T-Rex to come out.
James Milligan King Kong
Wow that other boat narrowly escaped , them logs were shooting out of the water like freackin spears at em! Lol
I suspect he said kill the engine because he thought it would improve the soundtrack not realizing that his request would forever haunt him, and fortunately did not kill him and every one on the boat.
That is a true close call. Awesome video.
Holy gosh! What a great fortune!!! 🤗👍
People on board can celebrate that day as a second birthday!!!
The power of nature.Look at those trees falling as if they were toothpicks.My condolences to all the families for their loss.
no molson beer was hurt in the filming of this video
+megaleadjp that's a good thing
megaleador Busch beer bears.
The crew has taste. No Molson beer was even purchased beforehand. Kokanee Gold!
The logs popping up behind the boat retreating was epic!
The speed and power of that slide just flattened those huge pines. Unbelievable. Like the mudslide in Matata New Zealand
"Kill the engine."
Good advice right there. /sarc
Still a better advice than "Lets get closer"
Starter kit for a logging company 🌲
Good place for firewood, too!
LOL!

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO (MEMORYSTAR)
❤💕THANKS AGAIN 💕❤
Mother nature at her best. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day. 😱
Was this in a logging area? It looked like a lot of the timber that had flowed down had been cut.
ben Dunn thats what I thought. I came down the comments looking for yours.
thank god it sounded like a herd of elephants running through the forest or they could of been buried alive
DangerMouSe could have ... not could of ...
I live in the Kootenays, and I remember this one very well.
Hard to believe almost a decade has gone by!
Yup! 4 dead if I remember correctly, just a little south of my home.
I did some reading. on this. The people who passed away were a German woman and a father and his 2 daughters. Mother nature unleashing in beautiful Kootenay Lake.
Every single movent & decision was critical and had to be precise and they nailed it!... 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey, Mildred. This looks like a great spot to build our dream house. Oh, wait...nevermind.
"White man builds house where Indian won't even spend one night."
That other boat literally left like Hollywood 2012 style 🤣
I remember when this happened and saw it on the news. Pretty freakin wild!
5 minutes ago...5 minutes ago...I was there...Watching this video...But now I'm gone.
How many minutes ago? How many?
animaniac1 5 minutes ago. 5.
That's crazy glad yall are ok
Amazing video. Glad to see all we're ok
You can tell alot of those logs came from a clearcut. The ends are perfectly sawn. Just like 80% of Driftwood on Vancouver Island beaches
absolutley! Then you see the timber industry shills... deny deny, and suport the lies... so tragic on many many levels.
qrtyu9 You're right. Wow....
Trees are just like any other plant: harvest one, plant another. No problem.
@@davidlafleche1142 man however is not, harvest none..plant another
@@louisvilleslugger3979 How do you know?
This is a secondary slide. The initial slide was so intense it traveled for 2.5 km and dropped 700 m into Kootenay Lake.
Houses lost: 5 ~ Lives lost: 4 (including a father and 2 daughters).
Intense rain in June 2012 followed by intense heat (> 30°C @ 50th parallel) followed by quick melt of the 120-140% snow pack caused over saturation of the highly porous soil (Karst Topography), resulting in stability failure of the upper portions of Gar Creek. A soil scientist living south of this tiny community said the creek banks failed, damming Gar Creek and a water build up lasted for days before finally giving way.
Great video !
I learned long ago, when you hear the sound of crackling trees…RUN!
Depends which direction you run.
2018 welcome Time Travelers! 😂😂😂😎
Poor trees...
I notice that many of the "trees" are actually logs. It appears the slide started in a clear cut. Is that correct?
Thank God you are all safe Sir
just think if you"d been in that tent at night asleep after a few campfire brewski's and that happened.......
By
Buried alive
honey, this place is lovely, and the scenery is so beau....''crack''crackkk!!!'' okay honey, the speed boat, hurry...
wow, nature in your face, its amazing to know what happens every single minute or seconds,we do not know, i dont know, maybe after posting this comment i am forever gone in this world or i become tired of breathing suddenly... and then where would we go after physical death? where would our souls be?
That's amazing! So lucky they were!
Awesome Video 👍🏾
Row row row your boat gently up the stream,,then paddle like hell!😎
Well you should have stayed for an extra 5minutes
“”5 minutes ago...”. Wow, dude. Just wow... Glad you left when you did.
Growing up in SoCal we had a word for something like that. Peace!
that's how nature makes path instantly
Actually that's what happens when irresponsible logging takes place
Nature didn't do that. This is what happens when the greed at all costs timber industry clear cuts a forest. They leave a ring of trees near the water so that the public doesn't see their eyesore. They then plant a tree farm. There is no undergrowth, or old trees to hold onto the soil. Notice the logs, not trees being washed in.. Greed is the enemy to all life on this planet,
BS! You can even see the logs washing into the water.. The parasitic timber industry leaves a ring of healthy forest, and then clear cuts where thier eyesore is less noticed.. There are no old trees with living roots, or lush undergrowth to absorb the water, or hold the soil together.. I am so tired of paid lying shills...
It's rare with a healthy forest. Undergrowth absorbs the water like a sponge, and healthy old tree's long roots holds the forest floor..
@@dwightstewart7181 yeah because perfectly sawed timbers are natural, get a life
There were massive logs shooting along underwater that suddenly popped up like torpedoes quite a few seconds after the event. That would suck, getting pranged by one of them just when you thought you were safe. Damn that Blair Witch.
'pranged' love it!
@@monstersaint Me too! 😁
Race for time. Also, very cool to view a mini tidal wave created by the rushing debris.
It’s a ski resort now. Whistler Mountain
"Kill the Engine" Really? Why would you do that, its not like the mudslide is going to get them but you need to move around to see it
Not what I would do, but this is what a journalist will do if a few minutes later they want to *be* the story.
I hate people who try to film an event then wave the camera all over the place.
陈天龙 all over the place because they are wondering if they need to run get away or stay ...unless u have been in the midst of a mudslide and filmed so perfect and beautifully u should probably shut up
陈天龙 they where too close to be prepared...it looked UNEXPECTED ..and congratulations to filming lots of stuff.. but I said if you have been near a mudslide ..that's different...bye..
陈天龙 man you are really an idiot. The were running from the mudslide.
pitthepig he doesn't believe it... he's never experienced shit like this ( he didn't say he did so I'm assuming ) but acts like these people should have been calm and collected even though they almost died
W S You people are the idiots. I never panic over a situation. I don't care what is happening. The only way to up the survival percentage in life is to never panic. Apparently none of you have read the hitchhikers guide. It clearly states rule number one. No matter what never never panic. I have always lived by that and I always keep my wits about me. It's not difficult to do.
Second, these people sat there and listen to the rumble of the slide. watched and filmed as the trees were being dropped as it closed in. They should have been more than capable of handling the situation properly. Just because you guys are pansies. That doesn't mean the rest of the world is.
I'm thankful your OK...
that is freakin amazing...
the sound of that chaos gave me goosebumps.. lol
free wood anyone epic
is most of the timber cut logs from logging that have been made unstable because of rain soaking the ground?
The one that almost gets the boat looks like a trimmed log?
LiGht YaGami you are false.
Rose White Correct, looks like a pile of cut logs on a skid site have slipped down the mountainside. My guess is the skidsite is the basis for the mud slide.
@@rosewhite--- you are moronic.
Edit; whoops, wrong person D:
No there was no logging there at the time there was a major fire there prior and there was a wreck a level of rain falls
Great footage.
a few months ago, a similar mudslide occurred in packistan. A heat wave created a large lake in a glacier and it gave away destroyed several bridges in its path.
