Swiss village narrowly avoids destruction in massive rockfall.

A large rockfall narrowly missed the Swiss mountain village of Brienz, which had been evacuated last month over fears of a landslide. The rock and scree missed the empty hamlet “by a hair”. The area had been declared a danger zone of the highest level possible, forcing the closure of two roads and a train line. The shifting conditions above Brienz were the result of natural erosion, experts said.
