The landslide was most likely caused by severe rain in the area, which loosened the ground beneath the building, causing it to collapse, given that during this period most of the country is covered by the monsoon, often leading to flooding, landslides and even human casualties.
The moment an entire building was turned to rubble in an unexpected landslide, fortunately without any casualties, has been captured on video by numerous witnesses.
According to
media reports, the eight-story structure was evacuated just before it collapsed, but it was reported that not all of the inhabitants' managed to get their belongings out of the unstable building, so they were subsequently
buried beneath the rubble.
In videos that emerged online, the building can be seen slowly moving as the earth under it
gives way from a range of different angles.
It can also be seen in the video that the location for the construction of such a high-rise building was
undoubtedly unsuitable.
The building's collapse was accompanied by an overwhelming sound and a massive cloud of dust that engulfed the surrounding areas.
The fall of the apartment building attracted many onlookers, who
stood dangerously close to the threat of debris flying out of the collapse, due to the fact that they apparently live in the houses next door, no different from the one that collapsed.
