Earlier this week, the deadliest
Earlier this week, the deadliest individual landslide of the 21st century occurred in a remote section of Papua New Guinea. As a result of a mountainside partially collapsing, hundreds were casualties and perhaps thousands more were left missing. Since there are a lot of possible explanations for the disaster being thrown around, I decided to chime in based on my analysis as a geologist.
