I'm from San Diego. They usually worry about this type of public danger. But who knows because this is in plain view and also on u-tube. 😢

Amtrak train to Montreal running along Lake Champlain is quite similar to this. They can only go about 10 miles an hour through a really bad stretch! If you're sitting on the riverside, it looks like you may fall in! Real interesting ride!

Jim you’re standing in the FRAG PATTERN! Get the heck out of there!

They can see track elevation settling and alignment deviation that will indicate if there is anything to be worried about. The side slope can be allowed to erode to within about two feet of the rail but likely the embankment supporting the track hasn't been compromised at all. The stuff that fell is just a sheer failure of a face that was already too steep but far enough out to be considered superficial.

Possible disaster in plain view and you still get a 'who would have guessed'. Narrator says it well.

Now there's a lawsuit waiting to happen!.. that's something I would expect in a third world country.

I used to ride my motorcycle on those tracks back in the early seventies

The vibration of the train could easily destabilize the remaining embankment and cause another catastrophic failure, this time with the train going down.

And that hard-hat guy standing next to the tracks .. what's he supposed to do if the earth starts to move? Hold the hill back with his bare hands?

EEK!
