Hello there, we applaud your investigative skills. However, your accusations are misplaced. Your estimates would be correct if you had accounted for the fact these vehicles are heavily modified and outfitted with machinery designed for such uses, however we cannot elaborate on this due to our lack of available data. Much of the landslide consisted of clay and other lighter materials which gave little resistance. Along with this, multiple vehicles were used, also controlled detonations to break the larger stones up into smaller pieces, this was perhaps not made clear in the original article, though its relevance is minimal. 

Thank you.

You specifically say "stone" in the article, not clay. You also say "several thousand tons" which would still exceed the tow weight of the hummer. It doesn't matter how "light" a material is - a pound of feathers weighs just as much as a pound of steel just like several tons of clay weighs the same as several tons of stone. Additionally, multiple pictures in the article clearly depict one hummer trying to move an object almost the size of the vehicle.

Thank you for your timely response. If you look at the 1st, 3rd and 4th image you'd notice there are multiple vehicles in use. When "several thousand tonnes" of stone is mentioned, it is meant in total.. not at a time, that would be a ridiculous claim. The reasoning for mentioning parts of the materials consisted of materials that differ from stone is that the materials size, density and weight is not the same as you would expect from solid stone or other similar materials. However, we cannot comment and further on account of not having the appropriate data to do so, we would recommend you contact Lionscrest Public Relations or similar for further and more detailed explanations. 

Thank you

Also: I understood the several thousand tonnes being a total weight. Being generous and saying several is equal to 4, that's 4,000 tonnes or just under 9,000,000 pounds. There's no way they would have cleared that in less than a day with those vehicles, even if multiple hummers were in fact used.
