A landslide Sunday covered Highway 410, at left, and redirected the Naches River about 10 miles west of Naches, Yakima County.
A massive landslide has completely destroyed more than a mile of Highway 410 in Yakima County. SkyKING flew over the damage Monday.
The landslide that smothered a stretch of Highway 410 Sunday could be among the largest ever to hit a state roadway, but its cause remains a mystery.
"I've been around for 25 years, and this is definitely one of the biggest," said Tom Badger, geotechnical engineer for the Washington State Department of Transportation (DOT).

They said on the news last night that they can't get close enough to it to determine what happened
because it's STILL MOVING.

I heard something yesterday that said they think this happened in this area before - thousands of years ago.

I'm surprised that some aren't trying to blame the past president and conservatives.....

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
till the landslide brought me down
Sorry. Couldn't help it. I have that in my head now.
