Rockslide narrowly misses evacuated Swiss village.

A large mass of rock slid down a mountainside above the evacuated Swiss village of Brienz, stopping just short of the settlement. The village was evacuated last month after geology experts warned that the Alpine rock looming over the village could break loose. The rockslide came a bit over a week after residents of Brienz were allowed to make their first visits back to the village since the evacuation to retrieve essential items from their houses. Authorities stepped the alert level up another notch after the rockslide as a precaution, closing some local roads and a railway line and evacuating two houses in the neighboring village of Surava.
