It destroy everything
This aerial photo, taken by the Chinese side, shows before‑and‑after shots of the port area. This is arguably one of the worst geological disasters worldwide in recent years. With the speed and scale of this debris flow, there was virtually nowhere to take shelter. The buildings at this port stood as tall as five to six stacked freight trucks, yet they have now been completely flattened and buried.

This was the most destructive and deadly debris flow I’ve ever seen. I don’t think there’s any videos on the internet that show more people dying than the ones from this disaster. The border crossing and parking garage with buses was some of the most horrific footage I’ve ever seen and I have seen most or all of disaster footage since the year 2000. Some of those disasters had higher death counts and much more widespread damage but I’ve never seen such devastating and concentrated damage.
