Subject: [Rockhounds] Massive landslide drags several houses and cliffs into the sea off Norway

This is the remarkable moment a freak landslide drags several houses into the sea on the Norwegian coast, sending locals running for their lives.

Drones filmed overhead as the monster 800m-wide surge carried away eight homes and huge chunks of the cliff face.

One stranded person had to be rescued by helicopter but amazingly there have not been any reports of deaths or injuries, according to *The Sun

.

The powerful earth movement was sparked on the western side of Kråkneset in Alta municipality on Wednesday afternoon.

Within minutes, the first of the houses was seen sliding into the sea.
