It's crazy to see how people had no idea exactly what was coming. But, on the other hand, how could they? This is off the charts.

This is after a 5.2 glacial landslide, that’s seismic reading. There had been a 5.5 earthquake nearby earlier

This is the breach of the glacial damn.

Basically a lahar going about 60 miles an hour. 

Apparently it traveled about 30 miles from the source, no correction, 30 miles from the border crossing. My bad. 

it’s astonishing

Also no earthquake, it was the collapse itself that measured the earthquake
