  1. "put worker safety above profits"…… but NO ONE knew the rocks would fall that day. Maybe they could close the mine because there is a mountain? C'mon. That's where mines are.

  2. Just wondering: Why do such a lot of people hold their camera/phone in "portrait" position instead of "landscape"? Is it stupidity, ignorance, laziness or something else??

  3. Underworld, thank you SO MUCH for your channel. I’m really interested in natural disasters and you cover them excellently! I am watching your videos back to your first posting. EXCELLENT. One thing I’ve noticed a few times is that some footage is reused and has nothing to do with the video subject. You know, wrong country video. Love your work though so please keep producing.

  4. I'm not sure if you've already talked about the avalanches that occurred in Costa Rica due to a landslide that blocked the Aguas Zarcas River. There are several videos from different days. It might be useful for an upcoming video.
    Greetings and excellent videos.

  5. What’s with people recording in portrait mode? TV went from 3×4 to 9×16 for a reason, movies are in 1×2.1 for a reason, cause we like a wider field of view. Ok ok yes it’s easier to hold the phone. So then why don’t these trillion dollar phone companies rotate the cameras by 90 degrees? “Things that makes you go hum.”

  6. That's something I really appreciate about the Underworld bunch. They narrate without a bunch of Jibber Jabber on their own opinion of what they think about a video. Keep it up and keep it real.

  8. I was working in the coast range forest in Oregon. We drove up a new logging spur road to figure out where we were to work the next day. The next day we drove up the road and found the road gone were we were going to park. The hillside had slid out. A little scary.

  9. They're killing the earth off with all these chemicals just like Japan is destroying the entire ocean with their nuclear waster they plan on dumping for the next 30 to 40 years just like their junk ass power plant is still leaking in the ocean

  10. They say yodeling in the Alps can cause an avalanche. So dont yell when youre out there in the heavy snow. I see so many videos of rock slides from China, though. Must we refrain from free speech there, too?? 😸🤠😂!

  11. Watching these reminds me of some experiments that were done with rockfalls and landslides. At the time scientists were convinced that these things had no resemblance to flows of water and other liquids and fluids, scoffing at various eyewitness reports to the contrary. This was at a time when mobile phones were very much in the future, so there few, if any, recordings of such events.
    They chose a dry mountain side to conduct the experiments, and during the preparations drew a large crowd of onlookers from the local inhabitants. It also drew a number of TV film crews to the site, who documented the whole event. I won't forget the result: when the rockfall/landslide was triggered, the whole lot literally flowed downslope, acting like a mass of water, even to behaving like a waterfall on the steeper parts of the slope despite there being no water present at all. Rocks of all sizes, from sizeable boulders down to dust, acted like water… something no-one thought could happen.
    It was a salutary lesson for everyone, not least the scientists. Further experiments, driven by disasters like Armero, taught us that some rockfalls and landslides don't need water to start them: others, depending on rock type and condition, only require a bare minimum to turn an unstable slope into a surging relentless flood of mud. burying everything unfortunate enough to be in it's path, and setting as hard as concrete once motion ceases..
    It isn't just natural rock piles that can give way suddenly, either. I hadn't been born when the disaster of Aberfan happened, but I've grown up knowing about it. The trouble is that, with the human population explosively increasing, and with it human hunger for resources of all kinds that need to be dug out of the ground, more disasters like the Aberfan spoil-heap collapse are going to happen… unless, of course, we take heed of the lessons Nature kindly provides us with.

  12. #2 was the result of ILLEGAL logging in my family's province, which left the mountains unstable because the tree roots were destroyed.Many homes and Barangays were affecteed and are still today because of corruption of local COUNCILLORS who take BRIBES to allow the logging companise to devatastate our homelands! This is endemic in the Philippines.
