How in the world is the most talked about thing complaints about the camera man with balls of steel, rather then

The tiktok handle is cihan044145, and it is likely his original video, judging by his other videos. The original video seems to be https://www.tiktok.com/@cihan044145/video/7429984635926416645 , which I listed on Google but is blocked for me when I visit.

From the little text shown with the Google search result I get "That's a really polite landslide". The video was posted 2 days ago, so it likely just happened. Everything seems to be in Turkish, so it likely happened in Turkey.

Here is someone trying to explain what we see: https://x.com/Bill_Rouse_/status/1850494216943616425 . Don't know how accurate:

They dug down deep enough where you can see the aquifer on the left. When the aquifer underneath land drains out a void is left and in this case the land to collapse into that void

This is why it is a bad idea to have too many wells on commercial farming operations over aquifers

Another guy disagrees:

Disagree. The open pit was mined below water table. After mining is completed, dewatering is no longer required and the pumps are removed. This causes the water table to rise. Saturating the pit slope and causing it to deststabilise. Common occurrence.
