When I carefully watched this video at first I couldn't figure out what I was looking at. Basically the helicopter pilot circles the devastation area. Near the end after watching the flooded area that is flooding because the river is stopped by the mud slide, you see how awful this situation is. Half a mountain came down and trapped up to 108 people or more. The people can't be rescued and neither for now can bodies be recovered because the bodies would have to be recovered before the water can be released. On top of that rescuers get up to their necks in water and mud and have to be rescued themselves because of the water and mud all mixed together. So, it is a completely horrific situation where people who are trapped cannot be rescued because there is no way to do that unless people were digging while being suspended by wires from helicopters and that just isn't practical in the end. So, this is only becoming a worse mess every day now.
Here is the video to see what I'm talking about above:
