Big crack in the hillside closes road. Happened Friday apparently, I just heard it onthe news. Beware Squisher, thats up in your neck of the woods!

 

[squisher]

Way south of me still, but cool. It'd almost be worth a drive down to check it out. I wonder it they'll blast it apart to make it safe?

 

[lumberjack]

That does seem wild, 300k cu meters of rock ready to fall, maybe.

Any pics?

 

[No_Bivy]

no pics?.....they gonna blast it?

 

[Paul B]

It'd almost be worth a drive down to check it out.

you did see the part about the road being closed to traffic eh?

 

[squisher]

Well I would just need to drive up to the closed section to see what I wanna see.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

That would be worth lookin at...

 

[squisher]

I was gonna go see it and get some awesome pictures until Paul told me I couldn't.

 

[sotc]

[Paul B]

hhahaha! take your truck and the mini or a quad to the lockdown point, then hightail it in from there! I heard this eve on the news that its about a meter wide and expanded 15cm overnight! its gonna fail, big hillslide I figure, hope no one gets hurted!

 

[sotc]

[Newfie]

Wow, pretty impressive. They're gonna need a lot of glue.

 

[lumberjack]

"An estimated 200,000 cubic metres of material have broken away from the hillside north of Summerland..."
"...And if it can be taken down safely, crews are still left with a massive job with about 20 truckloads of rock to take away..."

Ya'll have trucks capable of hauling 10k cubic meters of rock per load, but still use outhouses?


Ya'll are an odd breed, Sqwuishy,

 

[sotc]

ha i noticed that to

 

[Paul B]

Just gotta quote the right sources fellas.
"And in the long term, all of the material from the unstable mass, or about 20,000 dump truck loads worth, will have to be removed, a process which will take months."

 

[Canuck]

I'm really worried about the goats

 

[gf beranek]

Thanks, Paul. That is really something.

 

[stehansen]

Is Squishy out cornering the market on dump trucks as we speak, or type that is?
