One of many folks caught up within the mudslide in Pemberton B.C. was International BC cameraman Mike Timbrell.
Timbrell was returning to Vancouver from his cabin within the 100 Mile Home space when he was stopped alongside Freeway 99-Duffey Lake Street the place he stopped in visitors, after which his truck was hit by timber when the slide occurred.
A minimum of one individual has been killed within the mudslide on Monday and the search continues for extra attainable victims.
Emad Agahi has the story.

Did any real people get caught in the mudslide? Or just mainstream media hacks who are useless except possibly as dog food?
The PTSD is real with this poor guy. I hope he's getting the help he needs – happy he is alive.
This is so sad.
Well it’s his own fault for not being vacci… in the way of the trees. A surprising amount of sympathy from global news for a change.
Where’s the prime minister?
Hopefully he gets swept away.
My heart goes out to this gentleman, he is understandably traumatized and will be among the many who will need emotional support after this horrible event is over. Myself and many others in Ontario, are praying for the thousands of people who are suffering untold stress and heartache in the affected areas of BC! It is a helpless feeling to see the suffering and not be able to help in any physical capacity. God bless you and give you strength to get through this extremely difficult time!
This was caused by the removal of the Sumas lake. so we could say is this disaster was caused by meddling with nature by the GOBC
Ironic that Global News cameraman was there at that time and now he is on Global News telling the story. I'm sorry, but I don't believe he was there by accident and just like any other news outlet, they were chasing the story. We should be helping each other rather than chasing footage. God bless the real heroes who spent time assisting others, and I'm very sorry for everyone who got caught in this tragic incident 🙁
Another media hack who was some place he shouldn't be while real heroes try to clean up the mess…..look at this guy…."Look at me, look at me….boo hoo boo hoo. I am such a stressed out snowflake!!!" Grow up earthworm.
"And now to you Mike"
-CBC.
gee, you would think he could do both, be a reporter, and help? and did do both?
I see criticism of his actions? wow. Talk about cheap shots at people.
What was he supposed to do?
Have you ever been in a situation where you had zero control over circumstance?
And people standing next to you, died? And you came out without even a scratch? I have, and survivor guilt is real. PTSD is real.
This man's journey from that, is truth for a lot of people right now.
The recording of history in real time is important.
The man was spared so he could tell the story, Fate works that way. He needs support, just like any other survivor of great trauma. I hope he continues to tell the story of his recovery from this..
you will be ok Mike, do not cry, poor baby!
People live in beautiful places and very dangerous it can become
Ask yourself: If these locations were surveyed almost 20 years ago, found to have potential degradation issues in protection against such events, and the government didn't do anything to properly fix said problems, are they on the hook for negligent murder?
Glad to see you are safe, sorry to others who haven't and who may not
…ya oops now we can't supply the country – not done on purpose at all – just like all those wild fires where Antifa POS were caught with trucks full of gas and flame throwers . No way this wasn't done to stop the supply in Canada – zero chance it's organic
Wow he is so lucky. My heart goes out to these folks.
Don't care. You sheep deserve it after welcoming communism into our country.
All so tragic. Hope everyone get their gas and stay safe.
How many other cars were swept down the mountain
And our politicians will not let this go to waste, climate change will be blamed and used for more control and loss of freedom.
Terrifying. 🙁
Dam mismanaged ???
God bless him. Angels we're watching out for him
It is sad to see so many people with destroyed houses , but these situations were to be expected in the Merit and absttesford zone , there would be dams to control the rising waters , but for a long time the government advise , there will be more situations like this , there are that this situation should be resolved with money the tax pays , taxing the companies more , taxing leasing and taxing corporate profits, because just taxing the middle class is not enough.
The hells he crying for
So many people blaming the government, you guys do realize it rained 250-300mm of rain over the weekend. That's unheard of noone can expect something like that
Mike I think you’re suffering PTSD. What helped me when I was suffering very badly was EMDR, I was very sceptical but it definitely helped me process and get better. All the best to you and I hope all will be behind you soon. Heartfelt sorrow for all who suffered in this horrible slide.
global news sucks
Who cares; the whole media establishment should be buried in a mountain of manure
Stay safe everyone
Mike you may have some PTSD from this. Don't hesitate to get help.
Typical of MSM to sensationalize a tragedy
Is is a coincidence that they clear cut entire old growth forests, in an temperate rain forest zone and then get mud slides? irresponsible forestry practices have contributed to this disaster. And the are still cutting old growth forests down, see Fairy Creek protests (and on unseeded land to boot) Criminal politicians and companies that have complete disregard for humanity and the Earth.
The judgement is persuing
I think it was said that 5 lives were lost….so very sad…
Why don’t they have mud all over the place then? All I see is snow on the ground in the video
