Best Answer

Mudslides, or mudflows as they are more properly called, can kill people in two ways. First, the sheer force of the mudflow or the debris it carries can crush people. Those less fortunate may be buried may be trapped in the mud once it stops moving. People who are completely buried will suffocate. Worse still, people who are partly buried may die of thirst if rescuers are unable to reach them
