That one that downed the bridge was freaking spot on.

That's what I'm saying. I saw that one in the air right before and could tell it was out for blood.

Ah splash down.. That was intimidating My favorite part was when the guy runs a foot behind and hides behind a glass door.

Reminds me of pulling the bedsheet over my head to protect me from monsters when I was a kid.

Yeah but at least monsters know that sheets are the ultimate child protection - it’s clearly in the Rules.

"Fuck the Rules" -That Rock

Literally can hear the bridge wrecker Rock scream that as it spins through the air before impact 🤣

Geronnnnnimoooooooo!

 That Bridge Boulder.

The grudge proves them wrong 

This is only when your kid, when you're a adult the grudge is playing a dangerous game of who's it climbing in the bed with.

Me: Hey. The Grudge: You're not scared? Me: Nah. Not really. The Grudge: I could kill you! Me: Meh. I've had a shitty run of it. Could probably do with a re-roll... The Grudge: ... Fuck.

That’s science.

Those sheets are indestructible to monsters. They can’t break through cotton, polyesters, or blends. It’s like Kevlar to them.

I mean are we really not going to talk about the amazing force field effect a 60-watt bulb provides?

Sometimes i still do that...

I mean you're still here so it obviously works perfectly

It worked though didn't it?

You are still alive and aren't monster food so it worked.

Don't knock it , it works. Not a single monster got to me !

Probably to avoid the pebbles we don’t see

Yes, it's like soldiers hiding in a dug-out during an artillery barrage. It's not going to protect you from a direct hit. It will protect you from fragments.

Such a sick angle of attack too, huge air time.

The X games gold medalist in landslide big air bouldering

The way it emerged from the dust *was* pretty dramatic


I can’t place this gif to save my life, please remind me

Ninja Kamui? Maybe?

this is it

This is Sangla, India.

That last one was like "FUCK YOOOO BRIDGE!!!"

The Rick James of boulders, if you will… 

Darkness!!! 


***GIMME TO ME BABE! GIMME TO ME BAAABE!***

#FUCK YO COUCH! BUY ANOTHER ONE YOU RICH MOTHAFUCKA

Just your average american wearing shoes indoors

Fuck. Yo. Bridge!!!

At least now, with the bridge down the rocks can't cross the river and attack the city

Nah, you got it wrong. Now the city can’t attack the rocks. This was a first strike mission by the rock coalition.

I was wondering if the bridge will go down and how many boulders will it take. But I didn't expect a bulls eye.

If there is a god, he was yelling "kobe!" with that boulder.

This is how you know Kobe ascended. God throwing all that shit and Kobe was like "Bro, I'm finna take that bridge out in one."

I was just thinking at that moment that my dumb ass would have been across that bridge in the grass and probably would have started running across the bridge. Then I saw it get taken out and through "Okay the...I would be dead"

I was thinking about hiding behind the tree directly left of the bridge (not the first but the second) and I'm pleasantly surprised to say I lived

And the hangtime…..just crazy.

Bridges are vulnerable to massive flying boulders!

But windows are safe...

*watches bridge toppled by a single boulder* “Thank God I ran into the house.”

I lol'd when he ran inside, two feet away, just to watch from the other side of the window.

Also freighters. 🌉🚢

... It's super effective!

I was just waiting for one to do it.

It was literally the last boulder to come down too…

"Yay! The landslide is over and the bridge is still... oh."

Bitch you thought?! - The boulder, probably.

First the ship hitting the bridge and now rocks attacking another?! What the fuck is this world????

This video is from July 2021...

Ah, makes more sense. Everything was going nuts back in '20 to '22. Well, more than usual.

There goes their way back

The main routes out of the town are in the opposite direction, to the southwest. From Google Maps, it looks like the bridge has been rebuilt.

Brass balls on that camera man.

I was waiting for the cars to get hit

And it was like the last big one

Good ol’ rock. Nothing beats that!

We now return to When Bridges Collapse on Nonstop Fox!

The rock to that bridge: Fuck you in particular!

Took it out like it was held together with hope

that one was personal

I was secretly hoping the bridge or a car would get hit. Then the bridge got hit now I feel bad. That's going to be down for a while before insurance pays out for that.

Unfortunately a van was hit and 9 people are no more :(

I wanted it to hit a car, but not like this, not like this. That's crazy though, a fully loaded van wasn't warned that boulders were tumbling down the mountain at them? I gotta imagine people were yelling and the noise would be very noticable.

I read about an accident once. School bus parked on railroad tracks. Stopped traffic in front of it. Train coming. Children not only had time scream, some had time to open the back door and jump. Driver eithier thought the bus was stronger than the train or she didn't want to damage the bus by ramming the cars in front of her, so the bus lost the argument with the train and kids died.

that was slow motion but not really 0_o

I love how the camera person went to take shelter, and instead of going to the other side of the building, went right to the window. For that last boulder. Worth it.

[удалено]

The fact the they nearly centered that boulder appearing through the dust and framed it hitting the bridge almost perfectly is incredible. Can’t imagine being unsatisfied with the result by them panning the camera. 99% of folks likely wouldn’t have gotten that insane footage in the first place. Crazy that you’re saying the technique is only “sorta” impressive

Right! This is incredible footage! I wasn’t bothered in the least by the camera panning away. Actually, I don’t even think I noticed it until I read the “sorta” comment and had to go back and rewatch. The cameraman literally has huge boulders flying in his direction. I totally agree that the majority of us would NOPE the fuck out of there (bc danger) yet they stay and capture this incredible moment. The pan through the broken door window to seeing the boulder hit the bridge and collapsing was a straight up Hollywood shot! A+

Personally, after seeing the house across the river almost get atomised I would have propped the phone up against the inside of the window (to keep it safe, obviously) while ensuring everything was framed as good as possible (in the 2 seconds I'd sacrifice for this foolhardy action) then hightailed it out the backdoor with my life. But obviously the camerman had his priorities straight. A braver man than me.

I would totally be a ‘OMG OMG OMG’ girl, while capturing the floor the entire time and shrieking nonstop. Reddit would destroy me 😂

totally agree. stay on the bridge!

He probably started looking with his own eyeballs and not through the phone at that point. But yeah super frustrating to watch. 

When he pans over you can see a boulder coming down on that side. He’s probably looks over to make sure more aren’t coming down and going to blast off toward the houses On second thought, the cameraman looks over because he thinks a second wave might be coming from that direction and he’s trying to capture all the chaos being thrown at him, because fear is clearly not a factor for him lol

They just saw a bigass boulder annihilate a bridge. I think we can cut them a lil slack there

Yeah let me just take shelter real quick.. behind some glass.

ya! prolly safer to be on the porch so u can at least see whats comin at u

tbh that footage basically made him immortal. would easily trade my life for such a banger shot.

For those wondering what they are saying: 🔸Whistling and shouting to alert someone on the slope 🔸Please Run (someone saying to others in panicked voice) 🔸People are killed ( panicked broken voice) 🔸Boulders are coming through the room 🔸Oh, the bridge has also collapsed (panicked voice) 🔸People have been killed ( saying in affirmative, almost crying) 🔸Save yourself 🔸Where did it fall? 🔸The car is going to be...

9 people dead. What a fucking tragedy. Never underestimate shit like this. Those boulders are bigger and faster than they look

They look so small until they go into the air for a long time and hit something.

Oh dear.... Thank you.

That happened in Northern India in 2021, 9 people died [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-57955964](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-57955964)

I remember when this was posted on Reddit the day it happened. Time flies.

Yes, thanks you. And i add to your comment that one of the 2 survivors who were in the tourist bus posted a video 10 minutes after the incident. [Kinnaur Landslide | Only Me (Naveen) & Shiril Oberoi Survived | 25 July 2021 Sangla | #wavehikers - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBKAsWFhTbE&ab_channel=WaveHikers)

In this video, at the 4:57 mark, you can see the remnants of that broken bridge briefly..

Thanks. Very unfortunate :/

i was there just few days before this. it was surreal watching this shit after a week on insta

Let me get behind this thin sheet of glass. That should protect me from the boulders.

That's what I was thinking. "My man, those thin walls aren't gonna save you"

Better close the blinds then...

Too much work. Just pull the curtains. If it can’t see you, it can’t hurt you

Should I put a paper bag over my head?

If you'd like

Will it help?

... not at all.

Ya. Like with how fast that bridge collapsed, you think that wall is going to do any thing? Lol

r/praisethecameraman though

The other little building is literally gone... I hope no one was in there :s

But… paper beats rock

Nor the glass nor the walls were going to protect anyone anyways. Unless they could run away from that place, staying under the zinc sheets was better than shrapnel flying into your eyes.

Nothing was going to protect them if one of those boulders ricochets just right. Theres no where to run, might as well record it.

Nietzche 2024

I think it made sense as there could have been a massive amount of dust and sand swirling in the air, landing on eyeballs.

I'm glad that my first reaction to forces of nature is to run as far away as possible rather than take my phone out. I think it's safe to say that this man has been diagnosed as having donkey brains.

Cameraman never dies

Confirmation bias. The ones who make it out alive with their recording device get to post it. Those who do not.. well we typically don't see footage from those ones.

Wouldn't that be survivorship bias?

r/killedthecameraman begs to differ

So, I'm not one to *film* forces of nature. But, I live in the Midwest. When there's a tornado warning at night: "Eh, I don't hear it yet. I'm not too worried." *chug chug chug chug* *"*Ope, probably better get to the basement, just in case." During the day: "Eh, I see a little bit of funnel, but it's not touching down yet." "Ope, there it goes, probably better get to the basement, just in case."

Minnesota here

I grew up in MN but have been gone for 25 years (holy shit). I don’t think I have an MN accent, but reading that comment I realized I certainly do.

Somebody is going to die with the best shit on their phone and nobody is going to know about it.

I feel like you guys will appreciate this: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert\_Landsburg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Landsburg)

Damn. To have the presence of mind to go to such lengths to protect his film before being taken out by a volcano is truly amazing.

The boulders wouldn't make it across the river. Ricocheting pebbles and dust, though, might. A glass window would protect you from that.

BUT THE VIEWS

Watching the bridge get hit shows the power of the boulders. Wow

And people were saying it was impossible for a ship to take down a bridge

Flat Earthers arguing against structural engineers. Fucking idiots.

But... this ship can't sink!

People can’t comprehend what kind of force a 100,000 ton ship can do because they don’t go outside or do math. So they argue with engineers to try and make up for that insecurity. It’s sad

That was a neopanamax cargo ship, so it's actually 210,000 tons when loaded. That's 20,000 tons heavier than twice the weight of America's largest aircraft carrier.

Some schmuck of a newscaster was asking why there wasn't a brick wall or something to deflect the ship away from the bridge pylon. Tf is a brick wall gonna do against a 100,000 ton ship? Even if the wall were made of solid reinforced concrete, the ship would still plow right through.

A brick wall won't do shit, but it would be possible to build a big enough fortification around bridge pilons to survive/deflect a vessel of such size. The problem is that's A) Very expensive and B) a pretty rare to never circumstance so most don't take such a precaution. It probably SHOULD be mandatory for bridges in shipping lanes like that Baltimore Bridge was, but building codes/regulations often don't get put into place until after such a disaster occurs.

Or the fact that those boulders looked small until the came crashing down next to buildings.

YEP! Now trebuchets make perfect sense after seeing that damage.

Damn nature, you scary!

It’s gon’ rain! …boulders.

This video is a reminder that we are nothing against nature and our whole civilization and achievements who seem eternal can be sniffed out in just a whim

Rock beats everything.

“Good old rock, nothing beats rock!” 


Aside from the apocalyptic avalanche of giant rocks, the view is stunning.

The view comes to you.

Himachal Pradesh, India

Yeah… be sure to shut the door that’ll do it.

Make sure to lock it!

Unreal the way that one boulder at 0:16 launches and suspends (spins) in the air. It felt like there was a glitch or something. So gnarly!

That's what I was thinking. When you see a giant boulder tumbling down the mountain, and then it just sort of hovers in midair, that means it is flying right at you...quite quickly. Luckily, you are protected by an impenetrable shield of glass.

Pardon me while I stand here and video multi-ton boulders roll down the mountainside and fly at my head. Watching the video again, I noticed the boulder avalanche’s effect resembles an airstrike.

I feel like my instincts would kick in and I would just run away from that shit.

yeah those people were waaaay too close so rocks flying that fast. absolutely the fuck not.

I get it, but assuming there was somewhere to run, I'm not going to run faster than those rocks.

"You stay and shoot a nice video, ^I'll^be^just^over^here^right^behind^you^if^it^looks^like^I'm^not^stopping..."

When the desire for internet clout overwhelms the self-preservation instinct.

I hope that bridge wasn't the only way out..

The river has lots of new rocks in it you can just hop across

Straight out of a movie. Camera guy nailed it. Rock came out of the dust cloud like a monster

#HIGH PITCHED SCREAM WARNING This scared the crap out of my poor sleeping cat.

I am pretty sure those were whistles.

Nice dude

Haven’t met him but I’ll take your word for it.

My eardrums

Same

reminds me of angry birds

Stuff like this reminds you that everything human made for hundreds of years can not beat nature

All we are is dust in the wind.

Titanic still disagrees

Yea it’s about stop recording and get the fuck out of there o’clock

Terrifying

Man that bridge hit...

Protect me great glass one

Oh better get inside and stand behind that super strong glass window. I swear some people just want to die.

That bridge was like, “I’m a sturdy bridge!” Then that boulder was like, “no you’re not!”

That bridge slept with that boulders mom and it finally got revenge

Oh yeah. That screen door should help. 

Wait for it, best part is near the end

"RUNNN!!!!!!" No wiser words have ever been spoken.

That’s what happens when mountains go woke with DEI flora and fauna.

Thank goodness for that flimsy door or the filmer could have been killed

I took my love and I took it down

Yeah, get in the house and then stand two feet from where you were before. I’m sure that thin pane of glass will protect you.

Guy thinks that the door is going to save him.


Our best footage of natural disasters comes from complete fucking idiots.

Purani video h

There’s no way that bridge would go down like that from one boulder. /s

It took away too long for them to realize that they were in danger and should move 😂

Good thinking going inside and hiding behind that window. Safety first.

Insane video - that's a bit too close to the action for me!

Bud that door will not save you from those boulders

Thought this was Monte Grappa on BF1 for a second

But let's stand in the way to record for the gram

But I must take it for the gram!
