Witch tried to stop landslide but failed miserably.

woman in Peru what appear to be trying to stop a landslide by standing right in the middle of it while chanting periodic table. but she failed miserably, because nature doesn't work the way she intended, you can't control nature.


I'm bit confused where should I put this video on what flair, but maybe disaster is the most correct flair because the woman in the video killed by natural disaster, but it's up to admin I guess to decided.


as usual feel free to report in case this is a repost, but add the link to the previous video.

She failed who would've thought

None

On 30 October 2022 a pedestrian suspension bridge over the Machchhu River in the city of Morbi in Gujarat, India, collapsed, causing the deaths of at least 135 people and injuries to more than 180 others.

Initial reports said that the bridge was reopened early after repairs, without the required certificate of fitness from the local civic authorities of Morbi municipality..

The chief officer of the municipality, who had agreed on the contract for repairs after the 2001 earthquake, said the private firm responsible for the renovations "threw the bridge open to visitors without notifying us, and therefore, we couldn't get a safety audit of the bridge conducting

A forensic report presented in court said that the bridge could not withstand the weight of the new heavy flooring given the cables were rusted, it had broken anchors, and the bolts connecting the aforementioned two were loose.

A five-member committee was formed by the Government of Gujarat to investigate and determine the cause. Nine people, all associated with the Oreva group, were arrested and subject to investigation: two managers and two ticket clerks employed by Oreva, two contractors, and three hired security guards.

A first information report was filed against the maintenance and management agencies of the bridge under sections 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 308 (intentional act causing death), and 114 (abettor present when offence committed) of the Indian Penal Code.

Morocco Earthquake Leaves Hundreds Dead (2xVideos)

A strong earthquake of magnitude 6.8 has struck central Morocco, killing at least 1,000 people, and causing damage in several areas.

The epicentre was in the High Atlas Mountains, 71km (44 miles) south-west of Marrakesh, at a depth of 18.5km, the US Geological Survey said.

It struck at 23:11 local time, followed by a 4.9 aftershock 19 minutes later.

People died in Marrakesh and several areas to the south, the country's interior ministry said.

Many of the victims are believed to be in remote areas.

The interior ministry said the earthquake killed people in the provinces and municipalities of al-Haouz, Marrakesh, Ouarzazate, Azilal, Chichaoua and Taroudant, adding that more than 600 people have been injured.

Many people spent the night out in the open as the Moroccan government had warned them not to go back into their homes in case of severe aftershocks.

Hospitals in Marrakesh have seen an influx of injured people, and the authorities have called on residents to donate blood.

There are also reports of families trapped under the rubble of their homes in the city, and damage to parts of the Medina, a Unesco World heritage Site.

Some buildings have collapsed, one resident told the Reuters news agency. Several clips on X show buildings crashing down, but the BBC has not identified where they were.

Dust could also be seen surrounding the minaret of the historic Kutubiyya mosque in Marrakesh, a major tourist attraction near the old city's main square.

One man described feeling a "violent tremor" and seeing "buildings moving".

"People were all in shock and panic. The children were crying and the parents were distraught," Abdelhak El Amrani told the AFP agency.

He said power and phone lines were down for 10 minutes.

Marrakesh resident Fayssal Badour had been driving when the quake hit.

"I stopped and realised what a disaster it was," he told AFP. "The screaming and crying was unbearable."

Man captures a EF-4 Tornado approaching his house

What happened?


On April 9, 2015, Clem Schultz, aged 85, was at his home in Fairdale, Illinois, with his wife, Geraldine, known as Geri.

"We just finished supper," Schultz, 85, told ABC News. "My wife called me in the kitchen. She said, 'Look out the window.' And sure enough I looked out -- we see this big, ugly tornado coming."

"It looked like it was going to miss us," he said.

Geri stayed in the kitchen while he went upstairs to get some lanterns.

As the loud tornado loomed, Schultz decided to start recording cell phone video.

The video shows the tornado move closer and the sky darken, before the picture goes black.

"Up until the time the house started moving, it still looked to me like it was going to go to the west -- and miss us," he said. "Suddenly, I realized I was wrong.

I was standing next to the chimney when the whole place went down," Shultz said.

The chimney fell on top of him; he remembers he was buried in a pile of rubble.

"All of a sudden it kind of got quiet," Schultz continued. "'I asked myself 'Are you dead?' But then I said, 'No you can't hurt when you're dead,' and I hurt."

He said he later learned he had a crushed vertebrae.

As several people helped Schultz dig his way out, he said one of them told him, "'Don't look down because your wife is under you -- and she's dead.'"

He looked for her pulse, but couldn't find it.

Clem also said that he wont be living in Fairdale anymore. However some time later, he did return to Fairdale with a Black Shepard to meet his former neighbor, Joe Wiegand. Clem didn't plan to rebuild the house because of his "memories" and looking at moving close to his kids.


Why did Clem keep recording and did not seek shelter?


The reason Clem wants this to be out there is to "save lives". Clem also stayed in the attic because he thought the tornado was tracking away from him, but when he realized it was coming for him; it was already too late. He was unable to move fast because of his age.


Joe Wiegand


After the incident, Clem showed the infamous video to Joe, this is what the conversation was like:


CLEM: About two minutes into this, my house came down and knocked the phone out of my hand and it kept recording.

JOE: So now you are still standing up taking video right now?

CLEM: Right about now is when I realized ‘uh-oh.'

JOE: See the shaking? Your house is shaking apart right now, isn't it?

CLEM: Yeah. At this point, I was laying under several feet of rubble, wondering why I was still alive.

CLEM: He said ‘okay, now you're by this beam, I want you to sit down and put your feet down here on the floor, but don't look down.' I said ‘why don't look down?' He said, ‘because your wife is right under you and she's dead.'

JOE: You look down?

CLEM: Of course. I reached down, and got her pulse…no pulse. We had propane leaking. They told me, ‘you gotta get out of here.'


Who's dead and who's not?


Clem miraculously survived with a broken vertebra. He was send to a hospital in Madison for back issues, likely due to the tornado. His wife named Geri Schultz(aged 67) and a neighbor named Jacklyn Klosa(aged 69, the house in front that Clem filmed was Jacklyn's house) both were killed. His dog named Missy was uninjured but went suddenly missing after.

High winds from nearby hurricane have downed power lines on Maui and is the suspected cause of raging wildfires. Video is from a family that barely got out as alot of the fires and evacuations started in the middle of the night. Cell towers are down and unfortunately there are alot of people who still cannot get a hold of their family members.

Multi generation households are very common , so people are very scared for their elders/families with young kids. Oahu has heavy smoke and high winds as well.

CHILD WARNING EFFORTPOST Fargo Tornado of 1957 (CW)

Many thanks to @thresh for giving me the idea. I didn't want to overload you all with words and yapping as I am writing up something for Black Saturday 09 which I have personal experience in.

The Fargo tornado of 1957 was the third in a tornado family to move from Central North Dakota to Central Minnesota. Well known for being the most destructive and violent out of the family, the Fargo Tornado is also known for the deaths of the Munson family children where 6 children in one family were killed. The body of Jeanette is shown below, being carried by the 21 year old Richard Shaw. It was made worse knowing that these children stayed home, unable to escape the violent winds that would soon engulf the home, hiding under the kitchen table. Despite the insistence of their fellow neighbors earlier, they refused to leave, they had prepared a surprise birthday party for their mother. As it happened, Mercedes Munson had asked to get off work early, but the man who was to relieve her was half an hour late. Mercedes Munson was able to reach her 16-year-old daughter on the phone. But then the line abruptly went dead.

This tornado was the cornerstone of tornado research for Dr. Ted Fujita, Fujita would coin the terms “wall cloud”, “tail cloud” and “collar cloud” (NWS, 2019), which are still in use today. Likely if you've heard a series of words like this during tornado season, Fujita was probably the one who created it. He created new ways to research tornadoes such as including aerial photography and the use of satellite images and film. The 1957 Fargo tornado, despite being in an area not familiar to many Americans, was said to be the best documented tornado in history.

EFFORTPOST Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well, welcome to my write up of the 1986 Chernobyl Disaster!


History of Events

Fourteen thousand people used to live here now it's a ghost town. Chernobyl was one of the most devastating catastrophes to happen in the last 100 years. With an immediate death toll of 30, with another 30+ casualties & more unrecorded in the following decades due to long term radiation poisoning. With the explosion completely destroying the Number 4 Reactor during a low power test along with contaminating 150,000 square kilometres of land across Russia & Ukraine. Radioactive particles were carried across winds, spreading across parts of Europe including Sweden, Finland, The United Kingdom & more. At approximately 1:23 AM a low power test was conducted on the Number 4 Reactor, as the test began an unexpected power surge hit the reactor. Despite the attempts of the facility employees using the emergency shutdown protocol the control rods seemingly jammed while going inside of the reactor causing a reaction starting a fire, leading to two large explosions, causing the entire roof to be blown off of the reactor. Immediately after that the plant goes into a blackout and radiation begins seeping into the air, multiple fires begin to start up, compromising the integrity of the building, causing walls to crumble and equipment to fail. At 1:28 AM the first firefighters respond to the scene completely unaware of the radiation in the surrounding area, little did they know this would be the biggest mistake of their lives. At 1:35 AM firefighters made their way up to the rooftop of the Turbine Hall to fight fires that were raging up top.

Grigorii Khmel, the driver of one of the fire engines, later described what happened:

We arrived there at 10 or 15 minutes to two in the morning… We saw graphite scattered about. Misha asked: “Is that graphite?” I kicked it away. But one of the fighters on the other truck picked it up. “It's hot,” he said. The pieces of graphite were of different sizes, some big, some small, enough to pick them up… We didn't know much about radiation. Even those who worked there had no idea. There was no water left in the trucks. Misha filled a cistern and we aimed the water at the top. Then those boys who died went up to the roof – Vashchik, Kolya and others, and Volodya Pravik…. They went up the ladder … and I never saw them again.

After the arrival of the first responding firefighters, thousands of police began to setup multiple roadblocks around the town of Pripyat and the Chernobyl facility also unaware of the radiation in the area. Around 6:35 AM, 37 fire brigades totalling out to 186 firefighters or so are now at the facility fighting fires and assisting with medical. Some of these men knew the risks yet all of them still risked their lives to stop the fires and rescue people in the buildings.

Helicopters began to drop tons and tons of sand, lead, clay & boron on the burning reactor in an attempt to stop the fires and radiation, it only slightly dropped the radiation levels not doing much also in the process of dumping sand on the fire a helicopter clipped a crane and 4 people died as a result. (Can be seen further down in post)

Chernobyl Suicide Squad

The "Chernobyl Suicide Squad" was a name given to three men who took on a mission that most certainly should've lead to their demise, they were tasked to go under the power plant in hazmat diving suits to swim through radioactive water so they could shut off steam valves to prevent a world wide situation. These three men are Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov and Boris Barnov, as they swam through radioactive waters through the blown out basement of the power plant the radiation killed their flashlights. They somehow managed to still find the valves despite the darkness, closing them and preventing a massive meltdown. All three men survived the ordeal going on to live their lives, Boris Barnov died in 2005 from a heart attack but the other two are still alive to this day.

https://i.watchpeopledie.tv/images/17158070668856628.webp


Evacuation of Pripyat

Around 43,000 residents were evacuated from the city of Pripyat due to how close it was to the radiation and explosion, they used buses to get people out of the city only giving them a short amount of time to collect things they needed or wanted to bring. People were under the impression that it was going to be a temporary leave from their homes but unfortunately as it turned out a majority of them never saw their homes ever again.

This here is an excerpt from the evacuation announcement that they sent out to the citizens of Pripyat:

For the attention of the residents of Pripyat! The City Council informs you that due to the accident at Chernobyl Power Station in the city of Pripyat the radioactive conditions in the vicinity are deteriorating. The Communist Party, its officials and the armed forces are taking necessary steps to combat this. Nevertheless, with the view to keep people as safe and healthy as possible, the children being top priority, we need to temporarily evacuate the citizens in the nearest towns of Kiev Oblast. For these reasons, starting from April 27, 1986 2 pm each apartment block will be able to have a bus at its disposal, supervised by the police and the city officials. It is highly advisable to take your documents, some vital personal belongings and a certain amount of food, just in case, with you. The senior executives of public and industrial facilities of the city has decided on the list of employees needed to stay in Pripyat to maintain these facilities in a good working order. All the houses will be guarded by the police during the evacuation period. Comrades, leaving your residences temporarily please make sure you have turned off the lights, electrical equipment and water and shut the windows. Please keep calm and orderly in the process of this short-term evacuation.


Aftermath of Chernobyl

After the explosion some residents of Pripyat could see the flames from afar, they burned in different colors due to the graphite fires inside of the reactor, additionally to that there were hundreds of different types of radioactive particles blowing through the air towards them with the main radioactive element being Caesium-137, nobody watching the flames that night survived due to the heavy amounts of radiation they took on (500 Roentgen, 4.385 Sieverts). The surrounding areas of Chernobyl were heavily affected by the radiation caused by the meltdown of the reactor, even to this day we still see effects of the events that happened almost 40 years ago.

https://i.watchpeopledie.tv/images/1715807489362539.webp


Environmental Effects

Ecosystems were affected by the radiation in a variety of ways, plants and animals were contaminated, agricultural lands were ruined causing the mortality rates of farm animals to raise significantly. Plants and animals were genetically altered from the radiation, causing plants to change shapes amongst other things and animals to gain physical deformities such as two heads. After the explosion a newly discovered species of mushrooms were discovered in the reactor area they seemingly were attracted to the radiation, it came to be discovered that they could actually be used to break down the radiation in the area.

The Elephants Foot

This here is a mass of radioactive materials that formed after the meltdown of the reactor, it is considered by some to be one of the most dangerous radioactive formations in the world. This formation consists of material from the reactor core along with various other metals and components from the reactor, it is has now become a staple of Chernobyl attraction for tourists. Thankfully over the years the radiation has died down quite a bit but to this day it is still dangerous to be around it for more than 5 minutes. The Elephants Foot got it's name due to it's appearance.

Chernobyl Today

Chernobyl is now mostly overgrown with nature, it has become a hotspot for adventurers and explorers alike. There are few people who chose to stay living there mostly original inhabitants not wanting to leave everything behind, also people utilize the help of "Stalkers" to maneuver through Chernobyl.

Debra Stevens, Age 47, was delivering newspapers at her neighbourhood during a flood, getting back to her parked car to go back home, while she was in the car was swept away to a an alley(?) And got stuck in the trees.

https://i.watchpeopledie.tv/images/17151976945098314.webp

(Photo of Debra.)

She called 911 and Her call was answered by then-dispatcher Donna Reneau, The dispatcher submitted her resignation notice two weeks prior to the incident. Debras' death occurred during what was to be the operator's final shift.

https://i.watchpeopledie.tv/images/1715197694651488.webp

(Photo of Donna.)

Donna stayed on the call with Debra for about 22 minutes. At some points, the dispatcher told Debra that first responders were also saving other people from floodwaters and that many other emergency calls she needed to attend were coming in.

In a recording of the call, the dispatcher scolded Debra for “freaking out” as floodwaters filled her SUV. Debra repeatedly told the operator she feared she was going to die.

Later, Debra told the dispatcher she was worried the floodwaters would ruin her “brand new phone,” preventing responders from finding her.

“Do you really care about your brand new phone?” the dispatcher said. “I mean, you're over there crying for your life. Who cares about your phone?”

By the time first responders reached Debra and removed her from her car, at about 6 a.m. — about an hour and a half after she called 911 — she had drowned.

AFTERMATH:

As stated Debra died via drowning before the first responders could even get to her.

Her family were grieving obviously, but didn't blame it on Donna for some reason.

What happened to Donna?

She received death threats to her cell phone, forcing her to change her number, no legal actions were taken against that bitch.

Thoughts? :catmunch:

CHILD WARNING EFFORTPOST 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado (CW)

For me as a meteorologist for nearly 15 years now, going through extensive disasters such as the Black Saturday Bushfires back in 2009 here in Australia, to Super Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan in 2013, no disasters has perked my interest as much as the 1999 Bridge Creek/Moore F5 Tornado (there are a few others such as Xenia 1974 and Jarrell 1997). This storm, if the fujita scale rating has gone up over F5, would be at F6. This was a beast. Unfortunately, I am limited in finding bodies of victims of this tornado, and others like it.

And of course, if you have personal experiences with disasters, let me know! I'm considering my future options in doing my doctorate and I would love a bit more research material for any future thesis or papers I plan on writing.

On May 3, 1999, one of the most infamous tornadoes in U.S. history rampaged central Oklahoma. The tornado was an F5, and it tore through the cities of Bridge Creek, Newcastle, Moore, and parts of the south side of Oklahoma City.

The tornado was part of a prolific early May tornado outbreak, which featured a vigorous upper-level low pressure system that moved into the Central and Southern Plains during the morning of May 3. Surface analysis indicated a dryline was located from Gage to Childress, Texas. By late morning, low clouds over northern Texas into Oklahoma started to dissipate as the dryline began to approach. A mix of sun and clouds took shape, which allowed the atmosphere to destabilize. The combination of sunshine and surface heating, and plentiful low-level moisture, led to a very unstable air mass. In addition, strong directional wind shear and cooling temperatures in the upper atmosphere indicated the atmosphere was primed for the development of tornado supercells.

Thunderstorms began developing in the late-afternoon hours as CAPE values over the southern Plains had reached nearly 6,000 J/kg. Large supercell thunderstorms formed too, and during the late afternoon to the mid-evening hours of May 3, tornadoes started to touch down across Oklahoma.

The powerful Bridge Creek-Moore Tornado was the 9th out of 14 tornadoes produced by a supercell thunderstorm during the tornado outbreak. It formed around 5:26 pm CST, about 2 miles south-southwest of Amber, Okla., and grew rapidly as it headed northeast, paralleling Interstate 44. It moved across Bridge Creek and rural parts of northwest Newcastle, producing continuous F4 and sporadic F5 damage. The tornado was estimated to be a mile in diameter at this time.

From there, the tornado moved through southern sections of Oklahoma City, to the northern sections of Moore, through Oklahoma City again, to Del City, and on into Midwest City. The twister claimed 36 lives, destroyed 1,800 homes, and damaged another 2,500, according to the National Weather Service. In fact, a Doppler on Wheels research radar measured a wind speed of 301 mph about 100 feet above the ground in that tornado, which was up to three-quarters of a mile wide.

Four People Struck by Lightning; One Passes Away (2021)

"The clip shows an incident that occurred in March 2021 in the northern Indian city of Gurugram, which is located just southwest of the capital New Delhi.

The four men were taking shelter from heavy rain under the tree when a bolt of lighting struck it. The incident was captured by a CCTV camera.

Three of the men fall to the ground instantly, while the fourth collapses a few moments later. According to officials cited by local media, all four men were injured and subsequently rushed to Medeor Hospital in Manesar—a town near Gurugram.

A police spokesperson told The Indian Express at the time that one of the men, a 38-year-old identified as Ramprasad, passed away later that day after succumbing to his injuries. The other three men survived the incident."

History courtesy of Newsweek. R.I.P. to the individual who passed away, and may his family/friends find peace.

Man died during the 2013 Southwest China floods, and was one of ~253 deaths (73 officially, 180 officially missing, couldn't find evidence of those 180 being rescued).

Incident in video occurred in the city of Shifang, Sichuan Province.

The river they both fell into was the Shiting river... (unfortunate)

Info about Japan tsunami

An upthrust of 6 to 8 metres (20 to 26 ft) along a 180 kilometres (110 mi) wide seabed at 60 kilometres (37 mi) offshore from the l coast of Tōhoku resulted in a major tsunami that brought destruction along the Pacific coastline of Japan's northern islands. Thousands of lives were lost and entire towns were devastated. The tsunami propagated throughout the Pacific Ocean region reaching the entire Pacific coast of North and South America from Alaska to Chile. Warnings were issued and evacuations were carried out in many countries bordering the Pacific. Although the tsunami affected many of these places, the heights of the waves were minor. Chile's Pacific coast, one of the farthest from Japan at about 17,000 kilometres (11,000 mi) away, was struck by waves 2 metres (6.6 ft) high, compared with an estimated wave height of 38.9 metres (128 ft) at Omoe peninsula, Miyako city, Japan.


Aftermath

According to the Japan Reconstruction Agency, nearly 400,000 buildings were destroyed or irreparably damaged and another 750,000 were partially destroyed across the country in March 2011. Nearly 16,000 people were killed and 2,500 are still listed as missing.
