I was all excited to plan a rock hounding trip to the Himalayas. I even sent out the Sherpa bat signal (it’s a silhouette of me shaving a Himalayan yak), only to find out I’m eight hundred years too late.
But if you’re willing to travel to the Alps, here’s one from a couple of weeks ago: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/16/huge-landslide...

>Between 50 and 48 million years ago a sheet of rock about 500 square miles (1,300 square kilometers) in area detached from the plateau south of the Beartooths and slid tens of kilometers to the southeast and south into the Bighorn and Absaroka Basins
Luckily events like this are geologically rare. A bigger risk would be tsunamis from underwater mountain landslides.
and I thought I was bad for missing the timezone and being an hour late to watch the ESA's Euclid launch. Besides, I was able to watch mine in replay.
