Looking across from the grounds of the Tyrone and Fermanagh Hospital. The extent of the landslide can be seen. This caused the water mains pipe to burst and drain the reservoir above Killyclogher to quickly empty and the water supply to fail to thousands of homes around Omagh. The ground is like a quagmire and plant could be in danger of being lost in the river.
