Great explanation indeed, thanks for the link.
Crazy footage, the displacement and how the ground slips away in an arc while slipping is insane. I watch the footage but my mind refuses to acknowledge what it just witnessed, the assumptions broken make it so.

I still didn’t quite understand the arc concept. Is it that the ground appears to dip slightly then go back up?
Also finding it hard to acknowledge quite what happened, especially since it’s such a nonchalant situation, but that power line in the background just crumpling is a scary sign that something has changed.
