Thredbo Landslide Accident Midnight on 30th July 1997 Landslide…

- - - - Leakage from the water main lead to the saturation of the Alpine Way (Social Science: World Disaster Blog 2012)
- - - - Reconstruction of the damages came to $24 million (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (B)).
      - NSW government paid $40 million in out-of-court settlements (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (B)).
  - - - Erosion had pulled the topsoil off the surface, causing destruction of many plants (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (B)). This caused the surface of the slope was completely changed, due to chunks of land were pulled down the slope with the landslide (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (B)).
      - Many animals were killed, not only due to sudden impact but also the loss of habitat (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (B)).
  - - - Loss his whole family(Pike. A 2013)
      - Rescued 55hrs after accident (Pike. A 2013)
      - Stayed with wife on the ground floor of Bumbadeen. Debris had encased him on his back, with no mobility but secured by mattresses and broken furniture (Pike. A 2013)
      - Laid in the dark for three days in freezing temperatures and suffering sever hypothermia (Pike. A 2013)

  - - - If there was better resources and tech, could have began rescue at night, saving time and potentially lives (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (C))
- - - - Road/Slope full of debris and located next to two ski lodges(Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (C))
    - - Water escaping the pipe led to the loosening of surrounding trees and earth, and the unstable slope impacted the fast rate and destructive movement of the debris (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (C))
  - - - Landslide was caused by the leakage of the main, unstable slope above Carinya Lodge, existence and state of Alpine Way and the failure to improve/repair the slope and road way (The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) 2004).
  - - - Allowing for rebuild/repair to ensure stability and no leakage (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (C))
        
        Could have lead to issues being identified sooner, eliminating any danger (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (C))
      - No repair: area sectioned off as unsafe for ski lodge site (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (C))
      - Personnel could have been notified immediately with regular maintenance being conducted, leading to evacuation process if needed (Annie. P, Tess.D, Katja. T n.d (C))
