Videos capture Utah homes sliding down cliff into a canyon

Videos have emerged capturing the moments two homes in Utah slid down into a canyon over the weekend after officials had declared them unsafe for habitation. 

In stunning footage taken by a witness, one of the homes in Draper, outside of Salt Lake City, can be heard cracking apart in the garage area early Saturday before the entire property slowly drifts backward. 

In another clip, one home in the middle of a row of others begins to lean backward before racing down the cliff and out of sight. 

Officials had notified residents in October 2022 that both homes were unfit for occupancy due to dangerous conditions resulting from shifting ground -- the same conditions that led the homes to slide into the canyon.

UTAH HOMES SLIDE OFF CLIFF INTO CANYON 

Both homes were built by EDGE Homes and had been fenced off since the 2022 assessment, according to FOX 13. 

"Two residences -- the homes on each side of the properties that slid, were evacuated and have been condemned. Signage and fencing has been placed around those residences," the city of Draper said Sunday in a Facebook post. "The affected area is being monitored by Draper City Police. Bystanders should not visit the vicinity of the slide." 

The city says nearby hiking trails will remain closed "while the stability of the newly condemned homes continues to be monitored and evaluated."

"We ask everyone to respect the trail closures for their own protection," it added. "When deemed feasible to do so, a cleanup effort will be coordinated for the trails."

The Draper City Police Department also said Sunday that anyone "around the condemned homes and slide area on Springtime Rd may be subject to citation."

"People have been going into the prohibited areas, around fencing, etc. We need everyone to stay out of the area due to safety concerns," police said. 

A family that owned one of the homes told FOX 13 they were devastated that the collapse happened, because despite not living in the building at the time, it meant that belongings that remained in the home such as photo albums and keepsakes most likely did not survive the slide. 

The local government insisted that officials had tried "for months" to contact EDGE to address engineering studies on the stability of the surrounding area. Draper officials in December 2022 revoked occupancy permits for the buildings. 

One of the homes sold for $900,000, and the couple that bought it had to vacate less than a year after taking ownership.

Just months after the completion of construction, the corner of one home sank up to 10 inches and cracks in the foundation and patio concrete had formed. EDGE claimed at the time that "unique geographic features and the soils on which they were constructed" had caused those shifts to happen.

‘Disney Adults’ anger some online after they invent ‘Disneybounding’ to avoid costume ban: 'My personal hell'

Some Disney aficionados are using subtle color combinations and jewelry to pay respect to their favorite characters from movies like "Snow White," "The Princess and the Frog" and others after Disney banned costumes for adults. 

These "Disney superfans," as they were termed by The Washington Post, call their costume design choices "Disneybounding." It is a style that encourages Disney fans to dress up in a non-costume outfit that draws on the color scheme, accessories and even personality quirks of their favorite characters.

"Disneybounding" is attracting attention on TikTok, picking up over 772 million views and counting on the platform. 

'DISNEY ADULTS' DEBATE RAGES ONLINE AFTER VIRAL VIDEO OF WOMAN 'UGLY CRYING' AT DISNEY PARK: 'LIKE A RELIGION'

The term grew in popularity after Walt Disney World prohibited guests ages 14 and older from wearing costumes. 

One website that calls itself the official home for "Disneybounders" around the world provides a curated list of clothing combinations that allow adults to dress like "Barbie," "Princess Jasmine" and other iconic Disney characters without breaking park rules. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Leslie Kay, who is widely credited with starting the trend of "Disneybounding," for additional comment but has yet to receive a response.

Some TikTokers have gained international recognition as viral "Disneybounders," with one Disney fan claiming that the experience helped lead to a wider gender identity journey. Uriel Diaz, who has over 233,000 followers on TikTok, told The Washington Post that "Disneybounding was a "really, really strange but amazing and magical experience" that led Diaz to identifying as "nonbinary."

Another "Disneybounding" couple, Lilly and Paul Davis, told The Post that they have received "brutal" comments online after posting the viral video "40 Year Old Princess Squad Has Arrived." 

"We’re in such a beautiful day and age where people are being seen and heard. Not Disney adults," Lilly Davis told The Post. 

"We are the exception to the rule," she added. 

One user wrote that the couple's video "sent a shiver down" their spine. 

Another added that the video was "my personal hell." 

But others were more positive, arguing that the Disney fans are "adults having fun" and told negative TikTokers to "literally leave them alone."

"You guys look Adorbs," the same user wrote.

"Disneybounding" is closely bound up with another internet subculture called "Disney adults." 

The term "Disney Adult" describes an adult who enjoys, and is in some cases borderline obsessive, with all things Disney. That love for Disney can translate into spending money on tickets, costumes and even Disney-themed tattoos.

The hashtag "Disney adult" is extremely popular online and has gained over 1.2 billion views on TikTok, alone.
