A "holy shit" moment... landslide caught on video

[Atheon]

Check this out. Landslide caught on video. Happened several hours ago in Keelung, Taiwan.

I've driven on this road before.

:shock: Holy crap! Was that guy in the car in front lucky or what? He must be a Christian.    Solitary

And check out the peak of the mountain in the first few seconds of the video.  :shock:

News reports say the boulder rolled right past a house on the way down. The house slid onto the road later. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.

That a waterfall up the mountain? Looks really cool, even if maybe not the best place to build a road under.

Bit close though.

Usually there's no waterfall there. The waterfall you see is the result of the heavy rainfall that's been plaguing the north of Taiwan for the last week or so.

Damn!  Though it was not all luck that the driver wasn't squashed flat.  The driver did go left.  Good reactions on his/her part.   =D>

Nah, it must of have been baby Jesus's hand on the wheel.   #-o

Yup! He was saved by Jeeeeeeezus after Satan pushed the rock off the cliff!

As someone who drives along sheer rock cliffs with "Caution- Falling Rocks" signs and evidence of prior landslides, this freaks me the fuck out. I've seen concrete road barriers broken apart by those things. *shudders*
