RE:RE:Slide Photos Before and After
RE:RE:Slide Photos Before and AfterVisually spin the left photo around to the right and compare the downward sloping edge to the right photo and that puts the dozer (or whatever it is) over by the spillway side of the embankment. If it's not the dozer that actually slid down with the slide and some other equipment, the question still remains; what work are they doing there? Knowing when the before photo was taken would be very helpful.
If the Crown is an indication of the top of the slide then the slide initiating way up the pad doesn't make sense. Of course with no good photos of the top of the pad where the ~ 4 million tones of ore slid it's impossible to piece this together. There's a steep slope on the pad just above the spillway and so did the 4 million tons of ore slide down that slope, catch part of the In-Heap Pond and drive the remaining 2 million tons of ore out of containment and over the embankment? Now that would make sense.
Anyway, this is still a conundrum pending more facts.
My opinion only.
