As the landslip intensifies, she turns and hurries from it – all the while filming over her shoulder with her phone.

She apparently manages to get clear as numerous huge boulders tumble down on the road, burying several vehicles in a nearby car park.
The landslide happened at the entrance to Chaojing Park in Keelung, Taiwan, on Monday (3 Jun).
The emergency services arrived at the scene to cordon off the area and carry out search and rescue operations with the help of sniffer dogs.
Nine people were confirmed injured and around 10 vehicles were damaged by the rockfall.
Two drivers in their forties were trapped inside their vehicles and needed to be rescued by firefighters and bystanders.
Both remained conscious throughout the rescue and were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
One victim, surnamed Teng, said he was enjoying the coastal views with his wife when their vehicle became buried.
He said: “At first, we noticed some small pebbles falling down from the mountain, but we didn’t think anything of it.
“A few minutes later, we heard a very loud banging noise and we were very scared.
“Our car was being pushed around by the falling rocks and debris.
“The rear got smashed up and the doors were jammed so we were trapped inside and couldn’t get out.
“Luckily, some pedestrians came over and helped us get out of the car.”
The local authorities said the landslide was probably caused by the recent earthquakes in Hualien County, 100 miles (163km) down the coast along with a sustained period of heavy rain in Keelung.
They estimate that work crews will need about a week to clear the debris and reopen the road, as reported by What’s the Jam.
