Avalanche Landslide

Yeah it definitely looks like a landslide more than an avalanche, but I am sure that is just some sort of semantics in terms of how each is defined.

The part that is amazing is that no one died, but the company buried 14 of the giant dump trucks. Aren't those things like a few million $$ each?

It is correct to call a landslide an avalanche.
