A Campbell River helicopter company has dramatic video footage of a devastating landslide in a remote area near Bute Inlet.
49 North Helicopters pilot Bastian Fleury says they were made aware of an unusual amount of wood floating in the inlet on B.C.’s central coast, north of Powell River.
Last Thursday they flew over the area to take a look.
The company posted on Facebook that what they found, might have been “one of the biggest landslides the west coast has had in the last few years.”

A massive landslide on the mainland about 300 kilometres northwest of Vancouver in November that propelled approximately 7.7 million cubic metres of debris into an ocean inlet has reshaped a huge swath of coastal landscape.

CAMPBELL RIVER What s being described as a natural glacial slide has resulted in widespread flooding and navigational problems that could last for months in the Bute Inlet area of coastal British Columbia. This looks literally like a bomb went off, says Quest Water Taxi owner Leigh Nelson. We have everything from sawdust to bark to sticks to pieces of trees. All the parts and pieces are there, they re just not their in full tree form anymore. Nelson was heading to Toba Inlet on Sunday and had to divert to Bute Inlet when he came across massive debris fields affecting local waters.
