On June 3, 2020, a freak landslide in Norway swept at least eight buildings into the sea, causing significant damage and prompting a dog rescue, but fortunately resulting in no injuries. The buildings, mostly cabins used as holiday homes, were pushed into the sea due to a quick clay slide in the Alta municipality in northern Norway — an unusual event in the region that was captured on video. The landslide, which spanned 2,133 feet along the shore and extended nearly 500 feet inland, was the largest the area has ever experienced, according to Anders Bjordal, a senior engineer from the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate who participated in the rescue operation. There was only one rescue: a dog was swept away when the land began to slide and was carried into the sea. The dog managed to swim ashore and was rescued by a helicopter surveying the area for missing people.
