Landslide Washes Away Homes In India

NDTV:

At least four houses perched on a hillside in Shimla have been washed away by a landslide caused by heavy rain, which has been battering parts of Himachal Pradesh since last week. Two people have died and 5-10 are feared trapped. 

The incident took place in the city’s Krishna Nagar area around 5.30 pm today. A disturbing video of the landslide shows a tree leaning precariously and then falling on one of the houses, whose roof gets damaged. There’s a heart-stopping pause for a few seconds until the ground gives way, sending the damaged house and at least three others crashing down the hill. 

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said two people died in the incident.  more
