On January 27th, 2026, Italy’s Civil Protection announced the Niscemi landslide has reached 350 million cubic meters—surpassing the 1963 Vajont disaster that killed nearly 2,000 people—but what makes this catastrophic is the mechanism: it’s a rotational failure on a curved slip surface 40-60 meters deep that’s eating backward into the town, not just sliding downhill. Over 1,500 people evacuated as the danger zone expanded to 25 square kilometers, with engineers detecting ongoing retrogressive propagation where new cracks appear 100-150 meters inland from the original failure as the landslide consumes ground that appeared stable days earlier. Civil Protection officials admit no engineering intervention can stop it—retaining walls can’t reach 60-meter depths, drainage can’t cover square kilometers of failure zone—forcing Italy toward planned abandonment with no ability to predict where the backward propagation will finally stabilize.

the soil layers under the town buildings is protected from saturation by the town infrastructure. the conversion of the cliff into a stable slope will eventually be done by human earthworks. because it is too dry to settle quickly on its own.
Please give us " not too bright" Americans feet and miles…. not meters ..
Praying 🙏
Don’t feel too bad. It’s been known about for decades yet they continued to build on it
Adl channels for seismic science & info: Dutchsince, Silki, Stefan
LMAO, its a simple task to do bore holes to see whats going on before you build on it, dont bother though and…….well, you cant fix stupid
At 8:41 in video, a fox and laughing demon face appear in the land tearing apart, in the far left of video screen! Totally CRAZY!
I'm no geologist, but u wouldn't catch me living on a slope like that!! 😧 Afterall, what did Scripture say about buliding your house upon sand!?!?
I blame Mt Etna and Campi Flegri for this movement now. I will never understand why people continually go against what they know internally to be a BAD IFEA!! If it’s blown up before… DONT BUILD THERE!
That entire chunk of inhabited land looks to be mostly made of sand.
🙁 🙁 🙁 {:
Pump out all water and it will fall in.
uninhabitable
Terrible🎉😢seriously, who is to blame? The forefathers who started building in 1790; when growing the town how close to the cliff site did anyone ever say, too close.
Luke 21:25-28 ESV — “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Judgement is here…play time is over
“In that day,” declares the LORD, “there will be a cry from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the second district, and a crash from the hills.
The beginning of the disaster that will occur in the Last Days is now.
Matthew 24:3-8,34-44
Be awake to the Word of the LORD GOD and live in the Holy Spirit.
John 15:1-12
The Day of Great Tribulation is near.
Isaiah 13 ; 17:12-14
Stop philisophizing, just build a retaing concrete wall , and save the town.
Its so over built. I dont see any grass. The water had no where to go but saturate the earth under homes. Poor drainage?
They built there….Who gave permission? Sand and clay? And now they complain?😮
SURELY an aerial view of the landscape 50-100 years ago would have revealed the future likelihood of a collapse. That’s the way of the non-progressive mind; build now-pay later.
Now you’re paying.
Don’t make the same mistake again somewhere else.
Look into their advanced technologies.
They've been able to create earthquakes for decades as well as create and control weather.
Are secret technologies being used here?
You had some good diagrams but only showed these for a second without explanation but lots of b roll slop.
Darn those deceptive stratographs, thats how they always get ya! 😮
It's not climate change causing the excess rain, it's direct climate manipulation being done largely by the USA & specifically by their military.
Regardless of how science and engineering progressed in the last few hundred years, nature still has the final say, and nothing can stop it. Nature is forever, human? just a temporary existence.
Well, for sure it is going to continue until it gets to some natural angle-of-repose at the cliff face. That's about 10-to-15 houses back from the face.
16:40 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just knew
Bogus climate change, would be the culprit.
This is not a surprise, it's been known about for decades, they just chose to ignore it.
Babylon must fall….TMH will
In Gaza the high technology of today’s world are continuously killing and destroying life and properties. These western countries are going to FACE THE WRATH OF GOD without technology. I feel you people aided and abetted and are a part of evil entities
Mostly abandoned homes and decaying infrastructure.
The Bible refers to these days as "perilous times"for good reason.
God bless you all ❤
