Global National's Francis Silvaggio and crew were at the scene of an incredible mudslide at Johnsons Landing in British Columbia on Friday. Global News cameras were rolling the whole time.

"Kill the engine!"....and from that moment on, we never took advice from Bob ever again!

[ARoyalLyon]

Wow, it's like the mudslide is malevolently chasing the other boat, complete with log-torpedos! Amazing footage, great upload.

When you hear the crashing of trees you almost expect to see a T-Rex come through like Jurassic Park 😅

[aceallenk]

I can only imagine the consequences from one of those logs contacting a boat as it torpedo's out of the water. That was a good learning video should a person ever hear the cracking of trees, but it all happens so fast, and so huge. Both those boat were even lucky as it was, and further out would be better, but hindsight is always 20/20. Mother nature is so beyond a grand scale, even in a small setting.

Why the hell would you yell kill the engine when you see a mudslide getting ready to come crashing toward you lol

[donnyzarra]

If that other boat didn't pull out at that exact Wow!

[vmorris]

How many of us could have reacted as fast and as appropriately as that couple on the opposite shore? I'm in awe! Way to go, folks!

[Ragnar]

they literally got int the boat and left at the absolute last possible moment wow talk about playing ding dong ditch with deaths door.

[wichito]

Man I'd like to see a video from the other boat's point of view. Makes you appreciate life the next day you wake up after a close one like that.

Second boat nearly gets harpooned by log torpedo 1.01

[conspiraciesarejustgreatst]

you see those tree trunks fire out of the water like champagne corks?!?! like full fledged torpedos

[gabrielboisjoly]

I love the fact that this was filmed by professionals. Steady camera, and no "Oh my god oh my god!!" the whole time. Good work, considering the precarity of the event.

[FloozieOne]

That segment from :54 to 1:02 is so scary. It really looks as though the slide is chasing them. They are barely keeping ahead of it and then two stripped tree trunks come almost straight up out of the water as if they are trying to spear the boat. You don't make a much narrower escape than that!

Nature is awesome, it recycles everything sooner or later. Nice to see someone recording it.

[goodguy]

That's going to be a good spot to fish in a couple years

[MegF]

Don't kill the engine, as you might need to get away fast.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

I guess no one yells "timber" anymore. I am getting old.

It’s things like this have shaped the entire world. I love watching nature

[RandomDuude]

Please tell me they punched the "kill the engine" guy in the mouth after that.
