=1997 Thredbo landslide= The date is July 30,1997 the time is 11:35pm the village of [|Thredbo] is sleeping, completely unaware of the terror that will soon come down upon them. A landslide is close to happening, one that will end many lives. it started because of how weak and unstable the land was and finally, it gave way killing 18 people, burying them alive. Something that made everything worse is that they were completely unaware of what was about to happen, the landslide, it was a deadly slide that no one was ready for. if they had just [| made a safety kit]maybe just maybe less people would have died. If everyone had stayed awake there would be a dramatic drop in deaths. I really am sad for anyone who didn't curl up into a ball if escape was not possible.

Deadly landslide hits Papua New Guinea villages, written by BBC Mobile Asia on January 24th. On the 24 of January, a landslide struck down hard on Papua New Guinea leaving 40 people missing, presumed dead. It hit two villages, blocked of a road, destroyed houses, ended lives, and caused misery. It happened near an ExxonMobil liquefied natural gas project, they have closed it down until further notice. The prime minister had come to the site of the damage because it was so devastating . Witnesses said the landslide area was about a kilometer long and were traumatized by the horror that had unfolded in front of them.The Australian High Commission said it had offered assistance to the Papua New Guinea government. "There are people buried under the ground and a number of them are children," says Francis Potape,a local Member of their Parliament. "The numbers are fluctuating and they need to be verified,'' Said a member of ExxonMobil. Some things I learned about landslides are, just hoe big they can be, and how much more damage a landslide can cause than I thought. This is important to science because it says how much damage a landslide can do. This is the link to the article []
