The frightening sight of the houses just being dragged away to sea and then completely being submerged in the water is heartbreaking. Our hearts go out to people who lost their homes due to the landslide. 2020 is officially the worst thing to ever happen to mankind.

A Forbes report suggested that a rescue operation was immediately executed after the landslide ran its course of destruction and each and everyone affected was safe and sound, and no one suffered any injuries.

Can't think of a bigger 2020 mood than a couple of houses deciding they've had it and getting into the sea.

Hope everyone survived, but a reminder on how powerful nature, especially water can be. The ocean swallowed houses up in seconds. Scarily fascinating to watch.

Well if those aren¡¯t the strongest houses ever built! Unbelievable they were still intact after that. Hope they were evacuated and everyone safe.
