[Part 3] The 110 MPH Lie: What "Average Speed" Hides 📉💥

Investigators estimated an average speed of 50 meters per second (110 mph) over the first 20 kilometers of this mountain collapse—but that single number hides the real terrifying physics. ⏱️📉 Average speed is NOT constant speed. A catastrophic mass flow doesn't just accelerate continuously for 7 minutes. It violently accelerates down steep slopes, loses momentum during brutal impacts, slows as it navigates valley bends, and re-accelerates down the next drop. 💥🪨 Compressing this complex journey into one average misses why the specific route matters just as much as the initial collapse itself! 👇 Did you think landslides moved at a constant speed?
