Swiss village of Brienz evacuated over risk of imminent rockslide – BBC News


Residents of the tiny Swiss village of Brienz have all been evacuated because of the risk of an imminent rockslide.

The village has fewer than 100 residents, who were given just 48 hours to pack what they could and abandon their homes.

Even the dairy cows were loaded up for departure, after geologists warned that two million cubic metres of rock is coming loose from the mountain above, which could obliterate the village.
