Forget “one of the best” it is the best . The colossal volume of water , the massive rocks rolled like polystyrene facsimiles of rocks . What a phenomenal sight .
It is so scary right at the beginning. Far-away hollow-like thuds getting louder and louder, then a huge roar. You know something BIG is coming and it sounds angry. Makes you want to run away; a real primal fear of terrible danger. Then, seconds later, the torrent rears its head over the old debris piles, leaping and dancing down the slope until it falls over the edge. Ain't nature wonderful? Receipe: Gather up lots of big rocks, throw in a handful of really big rocks, add sand, earth and lots of medium and small rocks. Now add water and pour on a steep hill. Voila, a super rockfall. Great footage, thanks for posting with no jiggles and wiggles and silly zooms.
At last a video without idiots whistling, no screaming women and no shitty music, just sound of pure raw energy and power. great camera work, well done.
Appreciate that you provide these... not just the video, but rather a deliberate visual interpretive moment. This is a powerful force that demands respect. Each flow has its own character.
Great video. Watching the initial flow crashing around those hairpin turns to meet you head-on was both terrifying and a brilliant piece of work. Bravo.
DAMN!!! And I thought the last video I viewed was intense! SO MUCH FORCE BEHIND THAT WATER! For those of us who has never seen anything like this, it’s just incredible! And the video is so clear! Job well done!💃💃💃😊💃💃💃
Forwen Eymnorty ...I might fantasize about 5 of them screaming in terror in the background... They would be my 5 sisters who terrorized me...MY TURN...Nya, Nya, Nya, Na, Na,...
I’m intrigued now.... I want to know more. I want to see further upstream at the source of this event. I also want to see further downstream . Where does it all end up?? Great vid. Thanks for lack of music and stupid editing 💪🏼👍🏼
Source is just rain run off that accumulates from the mountain or hill sides, all collecting to some common areas, usually rivers or dry river beds. You get the heaviest rainfalls like a few hours before and then peak flooding occurs hours later. Downstream probably has increased discharge until it starts to fan out or spread out so all that energy from the water and debris flow can dissipate. Or it just takes hours for levels to subside if it’s a river, maybe up to 8-12 hours.
Very impressive event, I often think when the water content drops presumably the flow must end up stationary somewhere, is the rock collected and used in the building industry. It seems that it could be a benefit to build roads, embankments etc etc.
That's not a damn this is a Spillway design for these things to come through! That's the reason why they put a warning light up on the edge that blinks red when s***'s going down!
look at my other videos : Illgraben 29.05.2017 - Lave torrentielle, Murgang, debris flow - Part 3 End and different shootings or Illgraben - Where does all that material go ?ruclips.net/video/wKCjbecrAiM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/MPVndzSZGqA/видео.html
I’ve never seen boulders float. The way those huge boulders were plucked from the spillway is uncanny. What does the flashing light mean I wonder? No boating or fishing today?
How about footage of where all this mountain of rocks ENDS UP? A mountain(s) comes down, but what is getting built up?? Connecting the dots, and boulders, would be insightful (and interesting) too. Video with maps as well. Yes, it is mind blowing this conveyor system of huge rocks. Let’s see the Big Picture.
And that my commenter friends is how you prepare with appropriate infrastructure to minimise what in other countries might be described as a catastrophe.
Google Translate of description above: TranslateTurn off instant translation1390/5000 Glomero and Teblea, two blocs gathered there since August 10, 2016, having meanwhile babies, wait impatiently to join all their similar along the Rhone. It must be said that the move will be done quite drastically. A compact and very rapid front, composed of blocks, trunks and mud that has barely been moistened, pushed by a mega liquid lava that overflows the recent limits of the channel. This natural outburst calms down a little to resume, but the level of torrential water generally falls. Then there is a lava carpet, a denser muddy flow is formed, covered by the passage on the surface of a more fluid flow. This carpet of lava begins to bear more voluminous blocks than one can hardly distinguish. What you can not feel through the video are: trembling under your feet; Vibrations, which even make the air enter the lungs; The smell, a smell of mud a little sulphurous, an odor that spreads in the valley of the Rhone for one or two days; It is the feeling of being very small ... there is a kind of comparative relationship that settles where I grew ever smaller and the natural strength ever more enormous. Even after a week a kind of internal shock is still present and you feel the desire to kneel before Him who created everything, God.
This water come from the snow, is this released by a dawn or it's naturaly concentred?, because it raises on a sudden. In fact, there's warning lights.

Snow melt and sudden storm rain, 60 mm/h 10mn. 12mm tot. go down the couloirs directly as debris flows, and come together downhills along the stream and arrive at a sudden, 15 minutes time to run away since first lightnings...the light belong a security system based on hight of the flood and earth shaking and diverse pluviometres...7 minutes between alarm and flood..
No the canal is narrow enough not to slow down the debris flow which goes straight down in the river, the Rhône, where there is a damm upstream, which they open when the debris flow comes down. So the river clean up all the rubble apart from the biggest stones, the bigger I saw I called him Mecalo, is about 150 tons. Look on my videos "Illgraben 22.07.2016" and "Illgraben - été, automne 2017 - où sont passés Gloméro et Téblita"
It is the foundation of a bridge which replaced the one destroyed in 1962 by a huge debris flow and was used until the new current concrete bridge was built. It survived.
Great video and thank you. Was this a true lahar due to volcanic activity? Or was it due to heavy rains? I ask this due to a little volcano almost in my backyard. It is called Mount Rainier.
Hello, It's due to "heavy" rain (about 12mm in a quarter of an hour) and snow melt. It's rather called debris flow. In Mount Rainier you have rather lahar ? I saw the video of what seems to be a lahar at Mount Rainier called "Like being in hell..."
Alarm system with sensors 5 km upstrams, seismograph, hight of the wave...unfortunately not existant yet on the Losentze (Chamoson)...works 15 minutes before the wave..not useful if you have to leave a whole village..
There is no stream flowing regularly so there are no fish. Now if in the river that receives the Illgraben, the Rhône, fish are dead, I do not know. I think they have time to swim away or go upstream if they feel the vibrations of the debris flow coming down. Certainly in this concrete, there is not too much oxygen until the water of the river can dilute the compact mud. A human or a chamois in any case, no chance. A vehicle would be crushed apart and if its tank were full, it would explode.
This is one of the best debris flow videos that i've ever seen.

so true
Oh my God!
The sound and visual of viscous mother nature is incredible to witness for sure.
I thought I was the only one annoyed with people whistling during things like this.
Not to mention idiots whistling during my favourite concerts :)
Appreciate that you provide these... not just the video, but rather a deliberate visual interpretive moment. This is a powerful force that demands respect. Each flow has its own character.
Respect < Grinds you to absolute nothing
Wow! That probably doesn't happen very often at that intensity, thank you so much for going out there and making these videos!
Wow! One of the best flash flood clips I have seen! The beginning was epic👍👍
Kudos to whomever shot this STUNNING video!
Wow! That initial blast of water coming around the corner was like the elevator scene on the shining with the blood.
Ya for sure!
That flash flood wasn't F'ing around.
Looks like chunky peanut butter.
Good comparison
It’s very Kubrickian.
Great video. Watching the initial flow crashing around those hairpin turns to meet you head-on was both terrifying and a brilliant piece of work. Bravo.
That rumble sound just before it rolls around the curve ..
I'm not sure but I think that was thunder
Finally, someone who knows how to film an event
So true--this is mesmerizing!
Exactly , thank you .
DAMN!!! And I thought the last video I viewed was intense! SO MUCH FORCE BEHIND THAT WATER! For those of us who has never seen anything like this, it’s just incredible! And the video is so clear! Job well done!💃💃💃😊💃💃💃
Look at the one of 22.07.2016
The velocity of that thing is enormous
Amazing power of water and dirt. Awesome video and great you put no music to it just the raw power of it. Great video
o m f g
the first sight of the flow was so frightening
this is totally amazing how fast these flash floods come on and how much power they have.
Imagine how much force the front has, pushing anything and everything
Mother Nature shown here at her most forceful & very dangerous. A Great video Pierre - thank you
The hero of this video is the signaling beacon on the left :)
The kind of footage I've been searching for. DANNN🔥🔥🔥
Boulders are moved as easily as I move a twig! How frightful!
How are these flows anticipated? How much rain over a period of time is needed?
This needs to be livestreamed when it happens!
Thank you for not having some woman screaming in the background
Hhhhh lol
Forwen Eymnorty ...I might fantasize about 5 of them screaming in terror in the background... They would be my 5 sisters who terrorized me...MY TURN...Nya, Nya, Nya, Na, Na,...
There is always that one hysterical woman screeching because she is scared... For no reason.
Or some shit music
@@daleolson3506 yea fck that music sht
Well...I searched for "Debris Flow" ....and I found one!!! Nice work! Thanks for this upload👍🏻👍🏻
This song is off our second album, Tumbling Rocks.
I’m intrigued now.... I want to know more.
I want to see further upstream at the source of this event. I also want to see further downstream . Where does it all end up??
Great vid. Thanks for lack of music and stupid editing 💪🏼👍🏼

Oh she'll be comin' down that mountain when she comes ...
For scale, what is the size of the wall, or the height of the lightpole?
Width where the stones are laying is 10 m 40 the light pole was 2 m 20 , has been removed...
@@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 thank you.

Seeing the amount of pulverising material being pushed along its a wonder that anything can resist such amazing forces of nature. Thanks for sharing.

Immer wieder beeindruckend🌊
I wonder how much longer that warning beacon will survive at that location?
Would love to see where all those boulders and debris ended up?.

Un mixte d'eau et de roche qui déboule ainsi c'est impressionnant.
i have a healthy respect for the power of water
How I wish to experience something like this oneday. I guess the sound must be something else.
you can because ilgraben in switzerland is a mountain and experiences this several times a year and you can plan to visit when it happens
That's the raw power of water. A mud slide flood is deeply frightening to watch. The sound that it generates says how dangerous this is.
I’ve never seen boulders float. The way those huge boulders were plucked from the spillway is uncanny. What does the flashing light mean I wonder? No boating or fishing today?
“No boating or fishing today because your already dead”. Maybe?
How about footage of where all this mountain of rocks ENDS UP? A mountain(s) comes down, but what is getting built up?? Connecting the dots, and boulders, would be insightful (and interesting) too.

Do they ever clean out the channel? Love it now music just the sound of mother nature doing her thing

je suis impressionner par la puissance devastatrice de ce torrent qui semble couler de l' enfer
What is the frequency of these events?
Very cool video.
Does that area frequently have mud slides like this?
Stunningly beautiful!! Thank you!!!
It would be nice to see where exactly this starts.
I would like to see where all this mud goes.
very well filmed ......excellent ..
Danke, das Sie es möglich machen so etwas sehen zu können.

Très beau votre commentaire qui accompagne la vidéo. Merci.
No time to run if you were hanging out at that dam enjoying the day
There's actually a warning system installed. You see the flashers in the upper left.
It makes such a pleasant sound.
OMG! This is the biggest one I've seen so far!
if i had a nickel...
Two of those debris flows and this canal is filled up with rubble. Do they have to clean it up after such an event?
No the canal is narrow enough not to slow down the debris flow which goes straight down in the river, the Rhône, where there is a damm upstream, which they open when the debris flow comes down. So the river clean up all the rubble apart from the biggest stones, the bigger I saw I called him Mecalo, is about 150 tons. Look on my videos "Illgraben 22.07.2016" and "Illgraben - été, automne 2017 - où sont passés Gloméro et Téblita"
Waited for long ? Recorded with lots of patience , good footage.
Wonder if the mountains brought any gold down?
Do these cascades stop as quick as they start?
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽👍👍🙏
Is that just from rain? Or did they open a dam or something?
It looks as thick as a cement mix
Large aggregate at the beginning!
Like a lahar, from a volcano
Thru those boulders like pebbles! Damn!!!
There is a small shed on the left bank at the begining of the video... it didn't survive the onslaught, did it?
It is the foundation of a bridge which replaced the one destroyed in 1962 by a huge debris flow and was used until the new current concrete bridge was built. It survived.
Wow! Strong construction of the foundation. It's a pity the old bridge didn't make it Thanks! 👍
I'd like to see the section of mountain that is now missing above above this flow.
One of the most awesomely terrifying things I've seen in my life.
0:59 You can hear the rumble as it's coming.
those are not bushes, they are mature tall trees. the trench must be 10 or more meters deep and 15 meters wide at the top.
Terrific camera work - does anybody know what country this is?
Illgraben, Susten/ Leuk in Swizzerland, look at my other videos on my RUclips channel
Amazing how even many centuries after the landslide, debris is still be washed out of the valley.
It's only been going on since the 1300s. Still, 700 years of erosion leaves a mark on a mountain.
any estimates how fast this water is moving
How do you know when it is going to come down?
Wat great speed water 🌊 came great shot 2 👌📷
Really WOW! Thanks so much! Best Regards
Impressionante.
La potenza dell'Acqua ha spostato un Grosso Masso senza problemi.
Grande Carlo un bacione salutami tua figlia
dantesque !! Merci pour le partage.
Ou se déroule la coulée svp?
Illgraben
On peux y aller depuis Loéche
Parking à la gare, et suivre à pied pont bouthanais.
C'est magnifique
Merci beaucoup !
If you fell into this you would never be seen again.them boulders would mince you up like a blender I love your filming by the way
That would be absolutely terrifying to see that coming at you. I know there’s a warning system, but still freaky nonetheless.
What is this actually?
Great video and thank you. Was this a true lahar due to volcanic activity? Or was it due to heavy rains? I ask this due to a little volcano almost in my backyard. It is called Mount Rainier.
Hello, It's due to "heavy" rain (about 12mm in a quarter of an hour) and snow melt. It's rather called debris flow. In Mount Rainier you have rather lahar ? I saw the video of what seems to be a lahar at Mount Rainier called "Like being in hell..."
This is probably a good mini - preview of what Mt. Rainier would look like.
Where did this occur?
Olá amigo que lindo o seu video muito bom trabalho gostei agora samos amigos deixo o meu joinha e cininho ativo
The flood broke that sensor?
What is the flashing light on the left side ?
Alarm system with sensors 5 km upstrams, seismograph, hight of the wave...unfortunately not existant yet on the Losentze (Chamoson)...works 15 minutes before the wave..not useful if you have to leave a whole village..
We'll done camera man
would be possible to swim there ?
Where is this sediment being carried from?
First it was peaceful... then it Sounded like a train was coming!
Any bets on whether some knob will eventually try to kayak down something like that? That's is truly frightening.
How much?
Great video but I'm disappointed he didn't turn around and film the other side where the debris flow was going.
Look at video part 2 and part 3 !!
Looks like what a Mega Advanced Civilization's Cement Mixer's outflow.
Be a good way of getting rid of all the junk you have been saving up all year.
gesh, the sauerkraut festival was a dinger huh?
Adoro ver esses vídeos.
Thanks for uploading!😆
WOW! “Harriet! You left the water running!”
I wonder how much gold is being washed downhill ??
impressionnant !!!! c'est dingue ....
oui l'odeur et les vibrations provoquées par ces rochers et les troncs d'arbres doivent être impressionnantes.
Did the fish survive
There is no stream flowing regularly so there are no fish. Now if in the river that receives the Illgraben, the Rhône, fish are dead, I do not know. I think they have time to swim away or go upstream if they feel the vibrations of the debris flow coming down. Certainly in this concrete, there is not too much oxygen until the water of the river can dilute the compact mud. A human or a chamois in any case, no chance.
