A devastating glacier collapse in southern Switzerland has wiped out the village of Blatten — and now, two more villages face the threat of catastrophic flooding. On May 29th, millions of tonnes of ice and debris crashed down from the Birch Glacier, burying homes and triggering a desperate evacuation. The disaster created a natural dam, blocking the River Lonza and forming a rising lake that experts fear could burst at any moment. If it does, it could unleash a deadly tidal wave on the nearby villages of Kippel and Wiler.
This video dives into the terrifying sequence of events, the emotional toll on residents, and the growing role of climate change in Alpine disasters. Army forces are working around the clock to stabilize the area — but the danger is far from over.
👉 Watch the full story now to understand how a peaceful mountain village turned into a disaster zone overnight — and why this could be a warning for the future of our planet.
