I wonder if the river went dry first, like the water receding off into the horizon before a tsunami?

It is possible if you consider madaxe_again's theory(comment here). If the debris just started descending without interruption, there would be no receding.

    Well supposedly it was caused by a landslide blocking the river for a few minutes, then the dam burst all at once.
