It's extremely tough to tell, but these two @esa.int Sentinel2 images might (?) show the landslide that caused the Hongqi Bridge to collapse a few days ago. The images are from Nov 9 and Nov 12, with the latter being very poor quality, but shows a distinct change on the W side of the bridge.

As a remote sensing geoscientist, I am often asked about satellite and other aerial images. So here's a primer:

Arial imagery vs Times New Roman imagery.

I wonder if they saw that coming

there is at least one suspect signature. I don't think I've met Mr Butz.

Pro-tip for job applicants - don't do this. If the ad specifies that you should send a CV or references or a cover letter or whatever, do that.

Who did this?!

In this animation, we can see that the glacier detached sometime between September 4 and 21, 2025 (actually Sept 17-21), and a piece traveled ~5km down valley to just below the village of Safedob. And then on Oct 25, the glacier farther upvalley again advanced, pushing the detached piece another km

Holy moly - this glacier detachment in Tajikistan is WILD. It appears that there was a large piece of glacier ice much farther down the valley from a first detachment which then got pushed by a second soon thereafter. 🧵@planet.com @davepetley.bsky.social 🧪⚒️

It's v hard to tell but it might be Didal Glacier, which is surge-type and actually was surging in the months prior to this video. I don't know if something switched allowing the runaway mode seen in the video. Curious for thoughts of other glaciologists 🧪⚒️❄️ www.planet.com/stories/dida...
