Mt Mannen Norway

[Rockstar]

Mount Mannen near Alesund is expected to collapse 'soon'. Yes, the article is from last year but recently local Norwegian sources are saying even more! cameras are now being set up to capture the landslide.

Hey it's Tuesday! where's my avalanche?:Kaleun_Mad: ...a bit ironic as 'Tiw's Day' is named for the Norse god of war...:hmmm:

You guys are joking of course but i'm curious as to why they don't just deliberately trigger the event and get it over with. People have been evacuated and a no go zone established but what happens if it waits a few months before coming down. It doesn't seem very efficient to maintain the blockade for who knows how long.

For some reason, I am picturing a Norwegian Death Metal band playing along side the pumps cheering the mountain on.

Actually, that would make for a kick butt music video. The band playing on a stage just out of the slide area, and the slide happening right behind them.

[Rockstar]

Inducing a mountain to collapse by man made means is not recognized in the contract as a reason to release fan made Star Trek YouTube videos on DVD.

I wonder if the mountain is a geological version of the traditional Zombie, you know the ones in the horror movies that cause so much panic and fear even though:

a) they move so slowly, a person walking at a fair pace can outdistance them; and,

b) they are ridiculously easy to kill...

Markus

[vienna]

Could it possibly be Norway is feeling ignored by the rest of the world and has manufactured the whole Mt. Mannen story in an attempt to be noticed? This could be a desperate plea...

Maybe we could get some rock and pop stars together to record a song for them, sort of "Do They Know The Mountain's Moving" or We Are Mt. Mannen"... :hmmm:









<O>

[Eichhörnchen]

The Norwegians don't mind being ignored. From what I've heard they are of a very even-tempered, modest and low profile mindset, and disapprove greatly of the loud and ostentatious. I'm sure they would be horrified at all this attention on Subsim.

"In September 2018, 60 centimetres (24 in) of movement was recorded during 24 hours, the highest measured.[5] Both the 2014 movement, a 2017 movement, the 2018 movement and at more occasions, caused "red" alert, causing temporary evacuation of nearby residents and railway closure.

On 5 September 2019, a very large landslide took place from Mannen.[6] In total 54,400 cubic metres (71,200 cu yd) fell that day, in addition to 15,000 cubic metres (20,000 cu yd) which has fallen as small rockfalls during the previous years.[7] After this landslide, some smaller parts among the debris is still unstable but will not cause a large landslide. It was said that it was the correct action to close the railway and evacuate residents at every one of the 16 red alerts, even if the landslide did not damage any house or the railway"
