Swiss Village Miraculously Escapes Glacier Collapse Disaster

Blaten, Switzerland, narrowly avoids catastrophe as a massive glacier collapse triggers a devastating landslide. A 3.5 million cubic meter section of a glacier above the village of Blaten gave way, sending a torrent of ice, rock, and snow down the mountainside. Miraculously, all 300 residents and their livestock were evacuated days earlier after geologists warned of the impending danger. "The unimaginable has happened," stated Mayor Matthias Bellwald to the press, describing the scene. The video footage shows the extent of the destruction, with approximately 90% of the village buried under the debris. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the power of nature and the importance of heeding expert warnings.
