Christopher met a young boy in the hospital who had been rescued from a massive landslide. This boy was the last person to hear his sister and cousin alive, all of them trapped in frightening darkness.

It is also a story about Aizawl, his fast-growing city in northeast India, where GeoHazards International is training geologists and engineers how to manage the considerable landslide risk.
