A landslide dammed the Kaiwhata river in New Zealand to create a lake. The dam then broke, to cause a flash flood down the valley below.

That seems to mirror what happened 8 years ago in the Himalayans. Dam from a slide. Forms a lake. Dam bursts and damage done down river. Looks like the damage wasn’t too bad down River here. And most of the affected was where the lake formed

The scarp on the cliff side of the river downstream from the landslide, post flood, looks like the tsunami scar on Rakata from krakatau... Im guessing it's formed via a similiar mechanism?
