No, it won't break through in the way you are thinking. the dam will eventually become supersaturated, and as the river behind it continues to back up and fill the valley, at some point it will reach the top, and begin to trickle over the dam, creating even more supersaturation, in essence liquifying the rubble and mud, and cutting a channel through it. Depending on how long this process takes, the impounded water will be more or less voluminous, and the longer it takes, the larger the volume of water that will ultimately be released, and it can be a catastrophic flood that has the power to create major damage in the river channel and areas downstream.

Amazing. My imagination was trying to create a picture of what this would actually look like and I came nowhere close. At first you're like, "where did that amount of earth fall from?!" Then you see the scar in the mountain....just amazing.

Seems to me the goal should be to get that plug saturated as quickly as possible. I'm not sure how many tankers it would take but I think air dropping water on the downstream end would help things release less catastrophically. Get it flowing before a giant wall of water builds up to push it out.

Looks like it will become a beautiful lake up stream.

Thank you for the fly over. Brings it all into something we can see and understand. I certainly feel bad for those who will be affected, however, we do not control nature, and this is the price of living with it.

I would hope that Dan being a trained and very professional Geologist that maybe he could explain to his viewers on his YT channel why this occurs. I could see a landslide if the top soil was over saturated with moisture, but the fly over in this video looked to me like a lot of dead vegetation on both sides of this river. My first impression was the dead looking areas may have been mined and not good reclamation done. Just my opinion. I don't live up there, so don't know much.

i was wondering if Dan caused this, maybe he moved one to many rocks looking for gold.....lol if i lived in that area i would be there too with a gold detector and pry bars to roll big river rocks over from the middle of the river. it could be a real bonanza. maybe just have someone sitting at the new dam to give a warning if something has a catastrophic failure so i might have time to get out of the way.

I wonder, does he have any claims in the area? i wonder how many folks are/will be panning in the dried up creek/river bed?

Thanks very much for this perspective! Best I've seen! As you fly up towards the slide, you can see several spots where the land has slid into the river in the past. This river valley has been forever changing. Mother Nature, through, fire, wind, rain and snow as well as slides has been constantly changing the landscape over millennia. I have a feeling she's going to carve a nice new channel through that soft earth and continue the meandering river! All the best!

No video has shown the massive size of the landslide and either size of the Chilton River. Mindboggling.

thanks for the by far the best video of this and showing the magnitude of what occurred and how massive of an impact it is and is going to be as it transforms and unfolds in the coming weeks when this pops and releases the back up.. stay safe everyone in the zone and looking forward to the flyover when it bursts.

This would be absolutely incredible to witness, if the dam breaks and the lake releases. The pure, raw power.

Grew up in Williams Lake. Been fishing here 100x. Praying this goes over the top and slowly erodes as opposed to bursts. a lot of people depend on this rive for food and water. stay safe.

An astonishing view to water impoundment. A first hand look at the soil (clay) composition and the scale of the landslide depth. Any residents downstream should be wary as the water volume to a possible breach, is significant. Thank you for the post. M.

Heard about this on the radio, but it’s difficult to comprehend the incredible scale of the impact. Such an unspoilt and beautiful country, hope it can be resolved without further landslides and destruction. Thank you for sharing this video, it clearly illustrates the difficulties faced by everyone in the locality.
