Landslide


The 2008 Bukit Antarabangsa landslide was a landslide that occured on 6 December 2008. 5 peoples were killed. It also burying 14 houses and cutting off access for thousands of residents and disrupting water, electricity and other facilities. Many lost must be burden by the victims. I take this opportunity to feel sorry for them. I hope that they will patient and accept this as a conjecture. Slope saturation by water is a primary cause of landslides. The effect can occur in the form of intense of rainfall, snowmelt and changes in ground-water levels and water level changes along coastlines, earth dames and the banks of lakes, reservoirs, canals and river.Worldwide, there are thousands of deaths and injuries and billions of dollars in damage caused by landslides. These slides are most likely to happen in places where such slides have already occurred, at the bases of steep slopes, at the bases of drainage channels and on developed hillsides.
