The village of Abi Barik (Badakhshan Province, North East Afghanistan) was destroyed by two consecutives landslides on May 2 2014 (DailyMail). About 1000 houses were affected and 300 of them were buried under 60 meters of debris (AlJazeera). Fatalities number is unknown but some sources reported 350 killed people and 2500 missing persons (LeMonde).
While the villagers attempted to save some goods and cattle after the first little landslide, a second massive landslide occurred, covering many people (LeFigaro). Landslides trigger is probably the very heavy rain that occurred a week before the events (TheWallStreetJournal).
