Swiss Alps village narrowly avoids destruction by massive rockslide.

A massive rockslide narrowly missed the tiny village of Brienz in Switzerland, which had been evacuated last month due to the threat of rockfall. The rockslide stopped just short of the settlement of fewer than 100 residents, leaving the village unharmed. The rubble from the rockslide was nearly 40 feet deep, and an access road was completely buried under the debris. Local authorities were relieved with the outcome and said residents would likely be able to return, but further evaluations are needed. Swiss authorities warn of a growing risk of natural hazards in the country due to climate change.
