Swiss village evacuated due to rockslide threat.
The centuries-old Alpine village of Brienz in Switzerland, home to under 100 residents, is facing an urgent rockslide threat as about 2 million cubic meters of rock on an Alpine mountainside overhead could soon come crashing down. Authorities have raised the alert to "red," meaning no returns would be allowed for the foreseeable future. Geologists and other experts are taking measurements while villagers and vacationers evacuate the area. The landslide could move slowly or spill down, threatening lives, property, and the village itself.
