From the original catalog copy: The prehistoric Blackhawk Landslide in southern California promises to become the classic example of a massive avalanche believed to have traveled on a layer of compressed air. The hypothesis of air-layer lubrication readily accounts for the low friction, very high speed, and nonflowing motion of numerous huge landslides; it also explains many otherwise puzzling features of their form and structure.
