Glacier partially collapses sending rock, debris cascading towards Swiss village
A huge chunk of a glacier in the Swiss Alps broke off on Wednesday, May 28, causing a deluge of ice, mud and rock that buried most of a mountain village that had been evacuated due to the risk of a rockslide, authorities said.
One person is currently missing, officials said.
A video shared on social media showed the dramatic moment when the glacier partially collapsed, creating a huge cloud that covered part of the mountain as rock and debris came cascading down towards the village of Blatten.
