"Quicker than I can tell it, my hands failed to hold, my feet slipped, and down I went with almost an arrow’s rapidity. An eternity of thought, of life, of death, wife, and home concentrated on my mind in those two seconds. Fortunately for me, I threw my right arm around a projecting boulder which stood above the icy plain some two or three feet." Rev. Elijah Lamb

Re: ROCK!!!
Looks like YouTube has another video of that same rockfall but from another perspective:

Impressive.
Remember Half Dome?

YOU think it was crazy? Imagine if you were in one of the buildings at the bottom of the slope... (Watch that second video again...)

Missouri Mountain on 8/11/2012; we barely had time to grab the camera. One of the rocks was car-sized:

Re: ROCK!!!
How did they know to have their cameras ready and rolling? Snippet from a longer film planned to catch something else?
Mtnman200, I can almost smell that sulfur-esque odor of smashing granite. Amazing how quick and far the scent can reach, like around the next gully for even a small rock. Can smell it when crushing rock for CFI work but it doesn't carry far (hand hammer) but the distance it does of a rock hitting something falling down a gully conjures up joule magnitudes based on scent dispersion.
Above video links changed to in-line viewing:
