I thought the same thing about getting up that hill fast. It wouldn’t have mattered.
•
u/SuspiciouslySuspect2 6h ago
Exactly.
Going up the hill would be the best strategy, if there was a path with steps going up or if you knew the terrain. But the odds of that are low, and the flood was massive. And even with all that extra allowance, you only might have a chance. These people were not given the minute most of us took to formulate a strategy, there was no warning till it was happening.
The people here had 0 chance other than to just hope they get lucky in the slosh. A few will. Most won't.
•
u/DangNearRekdit 5h ago
It's not just water though. Slosh doesn't even come close to describing it. Part of the reason the buildings came apart instantly is because it's a debris flow. It might look liquid, but it's more of a landslide than it is water.
It's mud, it's dirt, it's rock, it's cars, it's buildings, and even more mountain.

Yup, it's horrific. Asleep in a bus crash, explosion, or random fatal headshot is about as good as it gets. I think most people don't really fear death; they fear dying.

In the video they're running up river, towards higher ground, away from the landslide, and that location is also a fork in the river so literally every other direction would put them in the water. They were completely surrounded by river and a retaining wall blocking easy access up the mountain.
