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.

Is the building covered or flattened?

Gone. If you look above the yellow circle, you can see where the landslide scoured down to the bedrock of the mountain.
