Oh yeah I am seeing the pictures. Looks like they settled and maybe the base got eroded underneath. Do you have a link to any pictures? I have been wanting to see this.

It was on FNC. I have been turning down the sound. I do not have the technology to screen capture TV.
It looked like they were shooting an embankment from about 200 yards away it was about 100 yards long and 20 feet or so high. There was a grassy top and on the slope there were the boulders in about 30% of the face of the embankment. Where the boulders were missing there was what appeared to be dirt. Kind of the broken dirt look with sod overhanging. Clearly looked to me like the boulders SLID down the face. It COULD be caused by too steep a slope or the rip-rap was only towards the top of the embankment. A washing machine action under water could have washed away the dirt and the boulders just slid down.
