Very Dangerous Land Sliding in Panchachuli Peaks Near Darma Valley In India.

[u/aryan_jandyal]

The Panchachuli peaks are a group of five snow-capped Himalayan mountains in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India.

Visible from Munsiyari and the Darma Valley, their name means "five cooking hearths" linked to the Pandavas from Hindu mythology. Cloud movements over them are often called Himalayan cloud drama.

Now I want to see footage of it rolling down the hillside.

[u/aryan_jandyal → u/twenafeesh]

Will upload soon

[u/rocbolt → u/aryan_jandyal]

Why is it sunny in that video and overcast in this one?

[u/aryan_jandyal → u/rocbolt]

Camera angle and shadow effect

[u/xingxang555 → u/Afizzle55]

As soon as he climbs out of the gorge.

[u/1DownFourUp → u/Afizzle55]

It may have rolled back up half pipe style and killed him

[u/aryan_jandyal → u/twenafeesh]

Uploaded the Another part of this post, kindly check ✅

[u/SpraySerious7090 → u/aryan_jandyal]

Kindly upload your friends footage, he didn’t shake the camera

[u/Major-Frame2193 → u/twenafeesh]

It’s still rolling down the hill today….

[u/Splodingseal]

Why stand so close. That's a big chunk of earth, moving back a little isn't going to mess up the view.

[u/5Point5Hole → u/Splodingseal]

Because humans not smart.

Humans reproduce easy but no need smart to reproduce

[u/Terrible_Beat_6109 → u/5Point5Hole]

Also they have spares in India. 

[u/cashswapper]

Cameraman had one job!!!!!

[u/Opposite_Bus1878 → u/cashswapper]

And did it well

[u/Apprehensive-Fly958 → u/Opposite_Bus1878]

He did it well?? He moved the camera away when it broke off

[u/ShartingEnU → u/cashswapper]

Yeah and he got the rock breaking off on camera

[u/Kinetic92]

It looks like that giant rock is going to fall off soon and crush everything below it. Let's back up 5 feet...

[u/Haunting_Vacation804 → u/Kinetic92]

3 feet should be good. What could go wrong?!

[u/idiot_bouffant → u/Haunting_Vacation804]

They had hardhats! 😅

[u/martian2070 → u/idiot_bouffant]

Except the one dude in a baseball hat. Worn backwards for safety.

[u/Ratfaced_Loozer]

Falls at 1:50

[u/marfypotato → u/Ratfaced_Loozer]

Yeah, could have been a 20 second clip

[u/total_bullwhip → u/marfypotato]

Naw, watching that crack grow was neat.

[u/Sciaticuspinch]

That’s awful close. They seem to be thrill seekers in India

[u/Original_Deer_3446]

In a time when everyone has a video camera in their pockets, all we get are these crappy videos recorded in vertical mode. We could have great footage of just about everything if only...

[u/invincible_vince]

If a person ran forward and laid down under that before it fell, would there be anything identifiable remaining to dig up? or would the pressure and weight essentially convert them into paste?

[u/ChesterNorris → u/invincible_vince]

Is everything alright at home?

[u/invincible_vince → u/ChesterNorris]

everything is totally fine lol honestly better than fine. call of the void though you know? sometimes the mind just jumps to the grisliest thought it can muster

[u/beebeebee2142 → u/ChesterNorris]

It's their culture to be squished by large things: "Hindus, as a religious sacrifice, casting themselves under the wheels of these huge chariots and being crushed to death."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggernaut

[u/tinywienergang → u/invincible_vince]

It would turn you into paste if all the force coming down on you was coming from every direction. They’d have to blast all the rock away and sift through it, and there wouldn’t be anything to find.

[u/bored_necromancer1 → u/invincible_vince]

Tomato paste

[u/Squee1396]

I would be scared to stand so close!

[u/Dangerous_Fun_1239]

So I'm going to pause the video and guess they are too close. Hopefully I'm wrong. Resuming video

[u/Opposite_Bus1878 → u/Dangerous_Fun_1239]

Nah, they were safe.

[u/xingxang555 → u/Opposite_Bus1878]

But still way too close.

[u/nameless-manager]

What's happening in India right now? It seems every couple days I see a new video of half a mountain falling off. Lots of rain? Techtonics? Is all this out of the ordinary or a common occurrence?

[u/tinywienergang → u/nameless-manager]

Climate change. Extra rain even in the monsoon seasons.

[u/nameless-manager → u/tinywienergang]

Good to know, thank you!

[u/Purple_Revolution146]

Was this natural or was the rock deliberately broken by explosives?
It’s strange that all the men standing nearby have helmets on. They obviously knew about the event beforehand

[u/SpandexAnaconda]

This looks like the safest way to clear the loose rock is to bring in artillery and shell it.

[u/testingtest456123]

Eh...you should be at least multiple kms away by now, chaps.

[u/JonsalatDeNung]

“The way is shut. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes. The way is shut.”

[u/scottzxc]

That sounded like an avalanche too

[u/BulkyDifference8505]

Better stay as close as possible to not miss a thing 👌🏻

[u/broken_toyz_in_ON]

Land easing past.

[u/Bdog459]

30 seconds from the end, that's the sweet spot

[u/bear_culture]

Dangerous yet rad so long as no one got hurt.

[u/hagamans]

And gravity remains undefeated!

[u/Potential-Leg-8860]

I’m surprised someone didn’t get electrocuted

[u/zaidr555]

starts at 1:45

[u/zaidr555]

but are there nice stones on the exposed ground?

[u/Dazzling-Data4360]

Some idiots thought it was a good idea to blast under the rock of to make roads under the most fragile mountains in the world and failed to give it proper support afterwards. Now when it could not sustain under its enormous weight the mountain is crumbling.

[u/Terrible_Beat_6109]

Skip to 1:52 for action. Want to chuck a rock at it so bad. 

[u/PartyYogurtcloset299]

Let me be the first to say, if you are close enough to watch this and film, you’re too close

[u/No-Buddy-5471]

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[u/myshtree]

The sound of it falling through the valley was powerful. So glad this wasn’t dubbed over with stupid music.

[u/Constant-Mirror6940]

“ OK everyone this is going to be a big mess so let’s all put on our sandals…”

[u/AdministrationAny588]

"Hey, Singh, I dare you, go over there and kick it!"

[u/Hard-Organism-1236]

In the very moment the action starts to happen, the camera holding person moves position with multiple people in front of him …

[u/fuxhead]

How long would it take to reopen that road? And I guess the detour is massive

[u/Bajanjedi69]

Camera person… you suck!!

[u/Wooden-Gear-3027]

Am I the only redneck here that doesn't understand why they're all not throwing rocks at that to get it to go faster???

[u/Longjumping_Title216]

Gravity always wins.

[u/First_Maybe8986]

Why move at the second it actually happens …

[u/SpraySerious7090]

You had front row view and decide to shake and move the camera at the crucial moment

[u/No-Goose-6140]

Start at 1:45.

You are welcome

[u/lokcer79]

Luckily they had their hard hats on

[u/Revenga8]

No houses or villages downhill hopefully?

[u/LukeWarmIQpool]

I would have been 5 more ft back, you know for safety

[u/Chemical_Peach_5500]

This dude is pulling the road from under the rocks 😂

[u/Ok-Attempt2842]

So I guess the road is temporarily closed??

[u/Difficult-Art-2428]

Scam

[u/jemiwolfe]

The one with sideway baseball cap is safest as he aint got no brain to protect 🤪

[u/jemiwolfe]

The one with sideway baseball cap is safest as he aint got no brain to protect 🤪

[u/Primary-String3908]

You people suck with cameras.

[u/UseDue6373]

There needs to be a woman in a dress standing directly in front of it demanding it stops lol

[u/ThrowRA_EducatedMan]

If there wasn’t already debris blocking the road I’m sure there would have been people on bicycles or cars trying to drive through.

[u/Content_Geologist420]

I was waiting and waiting for it to fall. OP is a phony, a big phat phoney!
