– People began to flow from the houses. They had just run off with almost no clothes on. Everyone was completely hysterical and just tried to get as far away as possible. We tried to help them with jackets and so on, which they didn’t wear that much, Bendik says.

The boys also stopped other cars heading toward the crash site.

Known at risk of death

After the boys have gotten up a bit, they turn around.

– Then we saw that the ground had fallen behind us, so we were very lucky to escape, says Edvard.

– It’s a bit scary when you see that the landslide has curved around the car and that it has been avoided a few meters. It’s scary to think we were there yesterday, Even says.

– Did you feel in danger of death yesterday?

– Yes. There wasn’t much to think about, it was a little automatic, Even says.

– It’s very disgusting and terrifying that this happened because you have no control over it, says Edvard.

The car is still blinking when the boy left it, a few feet from the edge of the race.

– What surprises me the most is that it has gasoline to be honest. I hope to get it back one day, but it’s not really important to think about it now. There are other things that need to be prioritized, Even says.

On Wednesday afternoon, the police reported that there are still 15 people who have not been counted after the landslide.

Many hours after the great landslide took place Wednesday night, the masses continue to erupt in the large crater it has left behind in the middle of the residential area. Throughout the day, several houses have also joined the pull.
