Only two officials and two horses were in the put at New Tredgear colliery when the landslide began. The ; officials wore not long on the surface when rock and earth overwhelmed the colliery offices, smashing the pit top and bending iron girders like pins. Ilu main road and railway were buried under thousands of tons of rock and debris. The mountain is still moving.
