Depends on the soil, I think. Loose soil (and the article suggested that this forest was in loose soil) will liquify during a bad enough earthquake; it basically turns into quicksand and everything sinks into it.

Probably the last time the earth changed it's axial tilt.

Possibly related to a flood?

Too bad they will lose all this information. Sure wish they could mine around it.

Why are we coal mining anyway? My Grandpa was a coal miner, and had Black Lung from it. Not to mention the effect on the land.
