Yea too bad. Family members buried alive. An awful death for sure.
Can't say anything more about my petty complaints about lost days of fishing.
Hope a survivor or two or ten can still be found!
good luck

Curt, is there a possibility that the 1300 ft. crib wall may have impacted the severity of the slide? Like it may have caused the slope to retain more water than it was accustomed to retaining over the last seven years? Just wondering....
Whatever the cause, a tragedy for sure. I always called the hole the "School Bus Turnaround", and it has always looked like a bomb was accidentally dropped there. I usually fished it when the 'Chuck was closed and/or the Sky was low and gin clear as the slide pumped in color and made the river a perfect green below it.

Thanks for sharing! Really gives a unbelievable perspective of the catastrophe.

School Bus was good before the 2006 slide, barely fishable after it unless everywhere else was bone dry (like Ike said)...and now it's gone. Long gone.
There are a lot of people in those houses still, and calling it a "rescue operation" is just being nice...it's going to become a "salvage" operation soon, I'm afraid.
Fish on...

Strangely enough...I think the massive size of the slide actually was a blessing for many people/things downstream, there's no way there was going to be any sort of catastrophic failure of the slide/dam that would cause a big flood downstream, it was so much bigger than the river it just took a couple of days for the river to dig a new channel around it rather than back up the river and then watch it blow out.
Fish on...

Wow is right. I didn't realize it came all the way past the highway. It was a long walk from the highway to the base of the slide at the old school bus hole.

I have heard today that the Stillaguamish Tribe has donated $100K and the Tulalip Tribe has donated another $150K to the rescue/recovery operation.
