Thank you for the exceptional footage and lack of stupid music was wonderful.

That swale/ditch dug out at the bottom of the hill is ingenious. It catches the rocks and protects the village.

Even the landslides are neat and organized in Switzerland.

I have been waiting around for 1.5 million years, and soon as I turn my back...

When one thinks of mountains one thinks of something sturdy and impermeable, not something that can crumble into dust before your eyes. Nature is constantly in motion.

Very impressive. Usually we think of landslides as one massive avalanche. But here it's a piece-by-piece collapse under its own weight when gravity overcomes the cohesive forces. I guess what makes the difference is the absence of water.

My family name was Fürster, but when we moved to the the British colonies in the mid 1700s they changed our last name to Furst. We originally lived on the border of what became Switzerland and Germany. The name means Forester and when names were given, you would often be given a name related to your occupation. We were responsible for maintaining the forests in mountain sides and valleys above the towns that were at the base of the mountains. After you have seen this video you can understand that this was a very important position. The forests protected the villages from rock slides in the summer and avalanches in the winter. I am proud of our family name and this video explains why.

Excellent engineering regarding stopping those rocks so they do not end up on the roadway. Your entire video was remarkable.Thank you for sharing it.

Absolutely stunning in 4k like that. You can see every individual boulder or small rock falling individually. I wish everything on UKposts was in 4k.

Nice to see a place that’s well kept and no one is throwing trash all over the ground.

Interesting to see how the initial stages of the collapse trigger the rest of it. You can imagine the effect of the rumbling of falling rocks on the weak areas. It is like the effect ripples down the existing cracks. Very cool.

I like how the beginning happens, a couple of rocks here, a few there. Then as the stability in the ground underneath the rock, which is usually only kept in check by a handful of trees and 15-20cm of dirt, but as soon as that is shaken loose, then it is a veritable mad rush to the finish line. Thanks for no crappy music, but a tiny bit of audio would have been awesome to hear the sound of that avalanche... though it is probably also a good thing, as I watched a vid of a snow avalanche onces when I was younger, and it scared the crap out of me.

6:04 for the main slide. But watching all works too, it's weird to see it fail progressively from seemingly random places.

I can only imagine living next to that mountain and hearing that in the night

Growing up I always thought mountains were forever. I love geology but it wasn't until just recently I was enlightened that mountains are not immune to crumbling and toppling down.

It’s amazing how after over 1 million years of that mountain being there, it just decided to quit. Great footage!

All these trees just standing around, not helping the ones that fell over.

THIS is a prime example of the power of nature

I live about 15 minutes from here and there are some huge boulders meters away from the road. Every time I drive by it always looks different.

Now that’s “between a Rock and a Hard Place”.

I can't get over the fact that I'm sitting here watching a mountain come down. It's cool to watch . . . Mother Nature is awesome.

That spot has to be even scarier in the winter and avalanche season. That area is quite magnificent!

Kind of anticlimactic you call that a mountain coming down....... I call it a small landslide.

It was so fluid in its makeup. I thought in the beginning it might be water driven the way it was pouring through holes and cracks.

I'm more amazed at the incredible video from the drone and the filming of the landslide than I am of the actual landslide.

Incredible footage! Thanks for sharing.

Wow. An epic event captured on video! Incredible rock-like fluid flow. The power of water and gravity!

That was pretty cool! It's a good thing that it crumbled in a lot of small chunks instead of one big massive slide!

Awsome. Nature never ceases to amaze me. As humans we think we're so clever but nature humbles us again and again.

The drone picture is so clear and stable, that's remarkable.

Breathtaking! It’s not everyday you can watch something like this!

Those boulders ripping down through those trees at the base is terrifying. Great photography.

People just don't seem to understand the gravity of the situation.

Amazing footage and what luck to be there when it was happening. Very skillful drone photography as well.

Late one night I came around a blind corner in Niles Canyon (Fremont, CA) and there was a 12 ft diameter boulder right in the center of my lane. I swerved and checked my shorts.

Weird how YT algorithm decided to put this on my feed now, but, good choice YT. Awesome vid.

This video is dedicated to the few brave trees that died during this rockslide. RIP trees, you will be sadly missed.

Very educational, when you see dirt and stones moving on a mountain or hillside know there is more to come.

Can you imagine waking up to that view every day!!!!

Very cool. Great that someone was there to capture the show!

When the trees know they only have a moment left and they make their goodbyes😔

MY GOSH... IT IS SO BEAUTFULL VIDEO LOOK VERY GREAT VIDEO..WONDERFULL

The constant rise and fall of Earth. Erosion is an amazing process. Thanks for posting this!

Imagine living near the end of that land slide, hearing the constant crackling and tumbling of debris, rocks, sand, trees.... thinking "Is this the one that is going to hit us?" , or wondering if during the night it fully goes...

Awesome- this looks more like a textbook illustration of fluid dynamics... nothing really just sags and falls suddenly, it's more like a constant flow of material... really cool...

As of May 2023 the village has been temporarily evacuated because the mountain has moved a big amount in the last year and a big avalanche is considered imminent.

For some reason watching this was amazingly satisfying. Thank You!

Incredible timing, fantastic work! Thanks for sharing.

Am I the only one that thought one of the mountains would be there one minute, and completely gone the next?

Wow! Turn that drone around though, I want to see where the town is from there.

This was like a meditation for me! Thank you for the silence ❤️

Tree, "Hey do you feel something?" Other tree, "I've had enough of your conspiracy theories."

Incredible footage and superb drone work!! Great job!

Its amazing the amount of damage a drone can do.

I sure love the beauty of Switzerland. Was there when I was in they U.S. Navy , utterly breathtaking. ❤️❤️❤️

Tom Scott has been there one and a half years ago. I recognize the area. They have a traffic light to stop the traffic on the part that's next to the ditch when a radar detects a rock falling. It was installed in 2017.

Mother nature shedding her skin! awesome video!

missed the best part looking down at a boulder falling down a slope

And one thinks an avalanche of snow is bad! Losing a side of a mountain is incredible! I wonder if a tremor caused that, something had to precipitate that kind of loss of a mountainside -- those poor trees! They must have known it was going to happen or they wouldn't have that amazing camera footage! What a beautiful little village at the beginning of the video, what a view of the gorgeous mountains behind the one that slid!

perfect time for archeologists to come and check out the rocks that were once inside a mountain!

wow! that's really impressive. Some of those stones got ALOT of kinetic energy. Biggest one I noticed that stayed intact half way down probably was near 50 tonnes

Just imagine having to figure out how to put all that back together properly if they didn't have this video

whoa! That escalated quickly... Well captured. Always love seeing Nature in action.

Fascinating stuff ! Thanks for sharing this.

Amazing footage. Great use of drone. Too bad they didn't set up a mic someplace to record what surely was incredible sound.

that was outstanding. Thank you for uploading such awesomeness

Thank you for not putting music over it. Great footage.

I dont understand whats there to like and dislike about this video. Its a natural phenomena that occurs . But yes who ever has filmed it..its in a good way so I like for that👍🏻

You see, this is why we can't have nice things!

Absolutely gorgeous video! If anyone wants to see Mother Nature just doing what she does, this video is it!!❤️

The Franks slide of 1903 . Driving through the rubble of boulders, some the size of houses was surreal. They says it was felt in California from BC Canada.

Astounding footage! I'll be watching this clip many times

I came to Christ after getting caught in a small rockslide. The scariest part for me were the deafening cannon blasts of massive boulders being split in half. I have a few other rockfalls on video from that day and it is really mesmerizing to watch rocks bounce off of rocks for some reason

Heftig ! Zum glück hetz unädra kei Siedligä. Cools Video !

"I took my love, I took it down I climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills 'Till the landslide brought me down" - Stevie Nicks

Nature is certainly amazing and very dangerous. Outstanding video. Thank you so very much for Not adding music.

this is cool, I love the forest and mountains 🦅🦉

I was waiting for this mountain to fall down for a long time, then the video ended...........

I was to Switzerland as a child. Took the cable cars,,,lol never felt such fear, never seen scenery so gorgeous.

This is a perfect example of being in the right place at the right time.👍😉

Wow. That was intense! Did you see all those rocks sliding down that hill?

Too bad there's no sound. We get slides in our area, and the sound is awe-inspiring.

Legend has it that the mountain said, “Yay, let’s do it again!” And did it again.

Does anyone know what the driving force behind the collapse was? Or what minerals correspond to the black, gray, and tan layers?

At 7:18 we see the culprit. And underground stream had been undermining it, and burst forth in a waterfall when the rock finally gave way.

Well, this was once the bottom of a sea.

Been watching alot of these and this is the best land slide video ever and 4k!! Hell yea

What a stunning landscape, the heart of civilised europe ✌🏻

Can't wait for your next grass growing vid.

Whole event captured ? You should've started recording a loooooong time ago to catch the start, & you'll have to wait an awful long time for the end too.

Fascinating! Thank you!

Great job of capturing this event.

This rockfall is remarkable. It's almost as if the mountain were liquifying.

No audio???????

Beautiful and just a bit terrifying as well. Fine work!

Hearing the rocks slamming against the trees or the dirt rumbling down the hill side would have been nice. thanks for the video.

"When a mountain comes down..."a bit rich, no?

Watching the entire thing. Incredible! The power of nature.

The scale is unimaginable. Many of those tiny looking rocks are the size of a grown man; and some of the larger ones, the size of an automobile.

I'm thinking the drone was up because they had some alert that the rockslide was going to happen. That was spectacular, hope no one was hurt. I think the animals would have left, had a sense of it coming.
