Wow that sucks! Was anyone killed?(Hope not). Looks like some equipment got buried alive for sure.

Wow! I bet that was scary if you were around when that happened. I hope everyone survived. Thanks for sharing.

Wow...

They anticipated the slide, and moved men, buildiungs, and equipment...

Thats what seismic sensors are great for. A few little 'slips' before it lets go, and you evac 'just in case' and you save lives and equipment.

Only thing better than before-after shots would have been some security/monitoring camera videos... watching a slide like that in motion... wow.

Glad no-one was lost. But expect copper prices to go up for the next little while guys...
