- lqet 6y agoWatch the video until the end. It seems a bit boring even after the landslide has started, but seeing the entire P̶a̶c̶i̶f̶i̶c̶ Indian Ocean linger at the top of that last bit of land, waiting to plunge into the open space, was fascinating.
- wenc 6y agoA sight to behold. I’ve been to that area and I believe it was the Straits of Malacca, which is connected to the Indian Ocean rather than to the Pacific. Not quite an ocean but still awe inspiring to see the massive power that water has.
- edge17 6y agoThat was incredible to watch. I'm assuming that whole edifice collapsed due to the impact from the mining, right?
- carapace 6y agoYes, it collapsed because the miners dug a huge hole right next to the ocean. What's really crazy is that the Red Sea might have formed in a single event like this one but thousands of times bigger! I can't find a link now but, uh, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bab-el-Mandeb#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bab-el-Mandeb#History > Paleo-environmental and tectonic events in the Miocene epoch created the Danakil Isthmus, a land bridge forming a broad connection between Yemen and Ethiopia. During the last 100,000 years eustatic sea level fluctuations have led to alternate opening and closing of the straits.
- QUFB 6y agoAnd the Wikideletionists have flagged it already (not already I suppose, the article is 11 years old)!
- _4s1k 6y agoThat was me. I don't consider myself a deletionist, but this seemed like a pretty egregious example of something that does not meet the bar for having its own page. I might be wrong :). You can go ahead and disagree with the proposed deletion; it's Wikipedia. I can assure you I am a very light editor. If there is a cabal, I am not a member.
- valuearb 6y agoWhy would anyone think this way?
- rsync 6y agoBecause the more inclusionary wikipedia is, the less rare and valuable it is to be a wikipedia contributor and/or editor. Imagine if everyone was allowed to write a factual, well-formed, properly cited article ?
- _4s1k 6y agoSorry, what? I made the comment above precisely to highlight the fact that the proposal was made by me, some random person, and it can easily be disputed by you, some random person, because everyone can (and should!) edit Wikipedia. Your sarcasm is really quite hurtful.

- codezero 6y agoWould love to see someone apply one of those neural network upscalers to see this in 4K :)
- foota 6y agoAnyone know where specifically this happened? In the form of a Google maps link, preferably.
- atlasinlove 6y agoIn Malaysia links in the wiki.
- foota 6y agoI was thinking more specifically, I wanted to look at the cove formed:)
