FRANCE 24 English 
A huge mass of rock and ice from a glacier thundered down a Swiss Alpine mountainside on Wednesday, sending plumes of dust skyward and coating with mud nearly all of village in the valley below that authorities had evacuated earlier this month as a precaution.

Isn’t there a huge crack of mountainside that’s ready to follow the glacier?
Cool view of an earth process. That said, those impacted by the avalanche, hope you can recover.
Truly, the power of glaciers in nature, equal to where small, quiet villages are nested into them…delighted everyone is safe, and, the country responding to the need of the quiet village and it's people…..I'm NY Toms very British/Brazilian future wife MD
With the changing climate some places need to be abandoned 😮
Mountain will turn green again
Even the cows??? 🐄🐄🐄
Do you have any idea how much such a milk cow costs ?!?
So traurig 😢 But climate change is just Fake News, ja ja is scho recht….
I call BS on the warming. I skied Zermatt in 1989 in February and I could only ski half way down as the snow had gone and was green grass. Stop blaming it on global warming.
Praying for Switzerland 🙏 Love from America 🇺🇲
Oh God 😢
Keep your head up 🙏
In Pakistan or Nepal the People and Pets would have been buried for sure. Long Live Switzerland 🇨🇭 ❤
thank goodness everyone was evacuated ok. how horrid to lose everything.
Insurance company: nothing we can do here. 😹
Wow first world country, they were able to issue a warning and evacuate people in time.
Family's Culture, history and homeland has been lost… The place demolished in a blink of eyes…. How is that sounds? I can't even dare to think about it…. Tragedy.. I feel sorry very sorry for those people who's lost yesterday and all the days before….. I hope they can get over it… 💔
This planet wants us off already 😢
Im glad you guys have competent leadership.
Stay safe over there from a not Idiocracy American.
I'm glad they took the domesticated animals along instead of abandoning to die
This has happened because of their fault. Last month my desperate case that i have sent it to ECHR has been rejected by a swiss judge not only that but he also invoked in mockery that article 34 has not been met like he would have said that i am not a person. What i am then a slave, the dog? You did this to yourself! Does that control everything have provoked this collapse with their secret weapons as a punishment!
They always blame CC, which really means to blame people. The mountain RIDGE to the right of the glacier has been disintegrating with tons of debris coming down on the glacier. That's what caused the glacier to partially give way.
The cow: Yay, I’m rescued.
The cow later: 🥩🥩🥩
DEW
You put all this village into home energy housing around the natural mountains
Now why wouldn't you tell us how many inches of glacier was added over the same time period?
Could you imagine being that cow
A trailer of global warming.
Be ready to face these SMALL actions of mother nature in future.
Since the HUMANKIND have gone MAD these type of incidents will be the daily part of your life😑
Climate change…
