1. Cool

2. Sorry that this is happening…

3. ur gonna need an other house

4. Not a lot of news on this

5. While billionaires are making yachts and rockets… instead of helping improving the world , the earth!! At least controlling the climate change if not to stop it… they’re all busy building rockets to go to Mars or?

6. Why US and canadian houses necer have propper deep cellars? Or any at all? Don't get it?

7. Those poor homeless millionaires 😭

8. Glacial outburst floods would send walls of water 100s of feet high across the entire Northwestern US at the end of the last ice age. The Scablands were carved out by a glacial outburst flood. These types of floods can be mind boggling in scale and scope and power.

9. What a trauma- I hope they were able to salvage anything. 🟥🚨🟥

10. Building homes on silt covered flood plains… Imagine the shock when it floods!!! 🤦

11. To everyone saying some variation of "why did they build so close to the river", I lived in Juneau when those Condos were being built in 2018/2019 and the riverbank was nowhere near that close to that home and those condominiums. The fact that it's receded so much since then is honestly insane. The most recent satellite image of the area on google maps shows roughly 90 feet between the condo in the video now overhanging and the river bank. To think that, in less than 5 years, the river has eroded around 100 feet of bank on the opposite side of where the flow pressure should be is crazy.

12. industrialization elites and bankers who have driven, controlled and produced massive polluters and pollutants all along, will voluntarily say "buy our green products and renewable energy equipment. Industrialized consumerism and hedon lifestylist money is precious to us."

13. They kinda should have seen it coming???

14. Who knew ice melts in the summer? Glaciers also move downwards towards the rivers they’re bound to break and cause flood or blockages eventually

15. So what?? Play a different tune…

16. how can be people so st,upid , and build houses so close to river, and without any bottom?

17. The climate emergency is coming for you, now.
    Whether you think it will affect you or not.
    I guarantee, it will get you sooner or later, and when does, you will angry at yourself that you didn't step up when we had the chance to stop it getting worse.

18. 😟 This is awful…

19. Is this because Rishi Sunak signed North Sea drilling licences?

20. The flooding in Juneau is a stark reminder of the dangers of climate change. Glacial outburst floods are becoming more common as glaciers melt, and they can cause widespread damage and destruction.

    The drone footage of the house collapsing into the Mendenhall River is a harrowing sight. It is a reminder of the power of nature and the importance of taking climate change seriously.

    The flooding in Juneau has also displaced residents and caused widespread damage to infrastructure. The city is still assessing the full extent of the damage, but it is clear that this is a major disaster.

    The climate crisis is not just a future threat. It is a present danger that is already causing real harm. The flooding in Juneau is just one example of the many ways that climate change is impacting our world.

    We need to take action now to address climate change. We need to reduce our emissions, invest in renewable energy, and protect our environment. The future of our planet depends on it.

21. Who is dump enough to build at this location?

22. Assuming the adjacent brick building was the next to collapse.

23. Devastating 😢

24. That’s terrible

25. All I'm thinking is was anyone inside 👀📈📈📈

26. The risk of living on the river.
