3:04 pm
so sweeping everything out that way. i'm burying and destroying villages and i'm psalms. this is a relatively rare event, but a particularly serious case. what do we know about what caused this disaster as well then you're going to use is a very long slide. proton family, possibly because itself has frequent significant tests quite something positive because it has right intense rankel and puffy of a tropical climate. so downsize on till usually in this part of the world. this is the 11th faithful down slide and puffing your guinea in 2024. at the moment, it's not really clear what that particular trigger of this event was. an unimed thoughtful, these very big real capital anxious. sometimes there is no trick or event to is it just literally the mountain side breaking down and then collapsing? yeah. is that what you would say we're seeing here because this is what the 2nd massive landslide to hit popping you're getting within the past 3 months. yeah,
