Massive Landslide In Taiwan

10 years have already passed since this incredible landslide occurred.

On April 25, 2010, a landslide occurred on a highway near Xizhi, Taiwan. A large amount of dirt buried both directions of the highway. Four cars were buried under the rubble, killing four people.

Possible causes of the accident in Taiwan: Poor anchorage on the hillside was blamed as a possible cause, as there had been no rain at the time of the collapse and no earthquake was recorded.

Repairs: The highway repairs were completed on June 19, 2010 and normal traffic flow was restored.
