A multi-storey building collapsed in India on Thursday afternoon after a landslide. The landslide was most likely caused by severe rain in the area, which loosened the ground beneath the building, causing it to collapse, given that during this period most of the country is covered by the monsoon, often leading to flooding, landslides and even human casualties.

The moment an entire building was turned to rubble in an unexpected landslide, fortunately without any casualties, has been captured on video by numerous witnesses.

According to media reports, the eight-story structure was evacuated just before it collapsed, but it was reported that not all of the inhabitants' managed to get their belongings out of the unstable building, so they were subsequently buried beneath the rubble.

In videos that emerged online, the building can be seen slowly moving as the earth under it gives way from a range of different angles.
