- Abstract
At about 12:00 a.m., on October 13, 2020, a rapid rotational landslide induced by rainfall swept over Ranger Station-7 in Phong Xuan commune, Phong Dien district, Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam, claiming the lives of 13 rescue team members. This paper presents an overview of the fatal landslide at Ranger Station-7. The analysis indicates that the entire landslide had a volume of approximately 81,550 m3. The observed topographical features indicate that the landslide mass consists of lower and upper blocks. The lower block of the landslide mass started sliding first; the movement was then followed by the slide of the upper block.
