Close call for Norwegian landslide - 12 June 2020 View All
A collection of cabins has been pulled into the sea by a freak landslide in Norway.
With a length of half a kilometre and depth of 160 metres, the portion of land was described by a Norwegian engineer as the biggest to ever break off in the municipality.
Alerted by a smoking power cable, Jan Bakkeby evacuated to the safety of a hilltop, from which he filmed his home being swept away on his phone.
A range of emergency services attended the scene, although thankfully nobody was injured or required rescuing. The only rescue was of a dog, lifted out of the sea by a helicopter.
The circumstances which caused the incident remain a mystery.
