Okay those are some big rocks. Some very lucky drivers there, altho that one was a hard hit.

Yeah, I’m a little worried about that first car. Anyone in the back seat would’ve had a very bad day. :worried:

I guess the driver can see the rocks coming before we do? Something specifically prompts them to back up.

Guessing a combination of familiarity with the area, experience of occasional rock slides, and the sudden feeling of the ground lurching under them. (Which, honestly, probably would’ve frozen me in place … which now I think about it, they might have been better off stepping on it instead.)

“You didn’t tell me this place had a wave pool!”

A friend who was in Bangkok when the 2004 tsunami hit said that he got up to pee early in the morning and saw the water in the toilet bowl moving back and forth. He thought “I don’t remember having that much to drink last night,” went back to bed, and woke up a few hours later to the news that the south of Thailand had been devastated by a tsunami.
