Would have been more awesome if there was a type of scale. There are trees in the background, but they're way too far away and downhill and only briefly appear to make any viewer understand the size of that rock.

So did it just kind of turn to dust/gravel/something? It looks like the entire structure just vaporized.
Pectus, how does that happen? ELI10-15

I'm not sure of the scale but it look's absolutely massive. Like hundreds of feet around and from top to bottom. About how much does that thing weigh? I'm guessing easily a few thousand of tons.

That's mud/unconsolidated rock below the boulder/chunk of rock.
Eventually the weight of the rock on the exposed side was heavy enough, and that loose rock below it was undercut enough for the rock to tumble free. The top of that escarpment is probably riddled with fractures. So these rocks are broken all the way through. And once a significant portion of one of the pieces is exposed and free to fall, it will.

I don't think it's that big. I did see a clip on the news this morning. I'll look around and see if they give a volume.
OK. Found it: 2000 meters^3
So about 12 m x 12 m x 12 m

Nice GIF. Just remove the letter "v" from the end.
