Super User rockchalk06 Posted July 14, 2012 Super User Posted July 14, 2012 That 2nd boat was like 10-20 feet from the logs crashing. Bet the pucker factor was 9.5 in that boat 1 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted July 14, 2012 Super User Posted July 14, 2012 Wow! Just crazy! Lucky nobody got hurt! Jeff Quote
Super User tomustang Posted July 14, 2012 Super User Posted July 14, 2012 Doesn't seem 'Epic' at all. Quote
Traveler2586 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I've watched this video several times over, and I have to ask, What's the rest of the story? True, the second boat was too close for comfort. But why was a news crew filming there and looking at that bank, and why is a helicopter flying overhead? It looks like the upper north west, was this a logging operation? With that said..... OMG, that's no way to add structure to a lake. Quote
Super User Sam Posted July 15, 2012 Super User Posted July 15, 2012 Where did this event take place? Quote
Broke bass fisherman Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Wow. That was pretty intense. Hope I never have to deal with something like that. Quote
Traveler2586 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 If you look at the logs that came down with the mud their ends have been cut and they're branch less. I believe this was a planed safety release of a logjam of some kind. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted July 15, 2012 Super User Posted July 15, 2012 The nerd talking to the camera cracked me up. "5minutes ago, (pant) 5 minutes ago we were there. 5 minutes ago, and we would have been wiped out. 5 minutes ago." ROFLMAO :D I'm glad no one was hurt, but he just cracks me up. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted July 15, 2012 Super User Posted July 15, 2012 Wild footage for sure. I also think that there is more to this story and it will come out eventually. The sound of those tress cracking as it approached the water made my hair stand on end. A-Jay Quote
NoBassPro Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 If you look at the logs that came down with the mud their ends have been cut and they're branch less. I believe this was a planed safety release of a logjam of some kind. That or it happened somewhere where they still float logs as part of logging. I think you'd have heard some screams from the other boat if they weren't expecting it, but they sure didn't appear to be panicking or crying about losing their tow vehicle as I would expect if it were an actual boat launch, Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted July 15, 2012 Super User Posted July 15, 2012 Wow! Instant structure AND cover. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 15, 2012 Super User Posted July 15, 2012 If you look at the logs that came down with the mud their ends have been cut and they're branch less. I believe this was a planed safety release of a logjam of some kind. Was thinking the same thing. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted July 16, 2012 Super User Posted July 16, 2012 This finally made the national news. NBC's Today Show said this morning that the landslide happened in Johnson's Landing, British Columbia. One person confirmed dead, three others missing! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/48194219#48194219 Quote
Traveler2586 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 OMG, I was thinking this was a planed event and the people in the boats and helicopter were on-lookers. I pray for the soles of the lost. Quote
GLADES Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 That 2nd boat is lucky it didn't get torpedoed by a tree. Just crazy, Quote
