Result
When driving on the new highway across the debris field a traveller can only then truly appreciate the hopelessness of anyone caught in the slide's path, the massive size of the slide being reflected in the many large rocks the size of delivery trucks. A view point on Highway 3 allows tourists to view the scar.
The highway has since been rerouted around and over the base of the slide's debris field 55 metres above the original ground level on the other side of valley. Most of the massive scar on the mountain face remains bare rock, without significant growth of trees or other large vegetation. It is quite easily visible from jet aircraft passing overhead.

Famous quotes containing the word result:
“We can never establish with certainty what part of our relations with others is the result of our emotions—love, antipathy, charity, or malice—and what part is predetermined by the constant power play among individuals.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“It is often hard to determine whether a clear, open, and honorable proceeding is the result of goodness or of cunning.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
