Slow moving landslide swallows Russian road

A low speed landslide described as "mesmerising" online has been filmed slowly devouring a road and uprooting trees in Russia.

Melting snow and heavy rains caused a layer of water to act as a “lubricant” underneath the 3m-high wall of rocks and soil, causing the unusual phenomenon outside Zarechny, southeast of Moscow.
