A mini-landslide was caused by the collapse of a retaining wall in Castle Rock, Colorado.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Engineers still do not know what caused the collapse of the wall.
Fire Protection Engineer Brad Emerick said "The brick actually swells. Brick will absorb moisture and try to swell. Because it's contained and has nowhere to expand, it buckles out of place."
