Anyone have any info about the huge mudslide,
at the airport at Charleston West Virginia ?

The mudslide happened on the south side of Yeager Airport and has taken out parts of the plane-abort system which is designed to stop a plane from running off the end of the mountain. The mudslide was very devastating as it destroyed homes and a church bellow.

UPDATE: Recovery Phase Begins After Yeager Airport Landslide

It will take a long time to clean up the mess and more of the hill could start
to slide down as they remove the mud.

Then they will have to rebuild the mountain again.

It will take a lot time and work to get back to normal.

That is very true. They will need to build a retaining wall that can hold the earth back, instead of letting it sit.

That would be one heck of a tall retaining wall.
