A devastating alpine disaster struck a remote Swiss village as a massive glacier collapse sent rocks, ice, and debris crashing down, burying homes and cutting off roads.
Terrified locals described the moment the mountain seemed to come alive โ โThe mountain was coming,โ said one eyewitness, recounting the roar of the avalanche-like flow that struck without warning.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, with search-and-rescue operations underway as officials assess the full extent of the destruction. The event has reignited concerns about climate change and glacial instability in the Alps.

I would be scared to keep living there….
Glaciers melted 12,000 years ago, too! It was all those humanoids driving big gas-powered pickup trucks!!
What is new about this? Steep hillsides equal landslides. It is common all over the world.
Billy was a mountain.
Ethel was a tree growing off of his shoulder.
if it was america they wouldnt help them for 80 weeks and they would get a poltical test..
Mother nature, not climate change. These poor people and animals. Hope they could rescue them.
Nature … fierce! So sad to see such a gorgeous little village get smooshed.
๐ for beautiful Switzerland
Global warming has consequences. Expect more of this sort of thing.
Prayers
Gdamn, was there a flowing stream in that valley? Did a lake get created? How many are missing?
The Swiss have been dealing with these slides for 5,000 years.
My prayers to the people who not only lost their homes, but also lost their way of life. Their neighbors. Their community. It happened to me during superstorm sandy.
Oh, no. I am so sorry.
My heart goes out to all those who lost their homes in beautiful Blatten.
Building a village where they did makes as much sense as building a high rise on a sandbar. Who knew the mountain most likely would crumble and there would be massive slides and wipe out everything below it?
I was lead to pray for you your saftey in your Country. I pray you are all healed and restored from this heartbreaking devastation. May God and His holy angels. Hea,l lead ,guide, and direct and restore you back to the beautiful village and homes you cherished. Praying for all to be healed quickly. In Jesus mighty name. Amen and Amen โค๏ธ ๐ ๐ฑ๐ท๐ฏ๐ค๐๐
If you are going to give it an English title then at least provide an English translation of the interview.
Climate change happened long before the human race began. Man has nothing to do with the cycles of the earth.๐ฎ
Dit is geen klimaatverandering maar een geologisch iets. Dit gebeurt wel vaker. Zo is een groot deel van de Dru in Frankrijk een aantal jaren geleden ook ingestort
