#viral | A Swiss Village Washed Away by a GlacierA scene straight out of a disaster movie unfolded in the Alps—unfortunately, it was all too real. The Birch glacier didn't just crack; it collapsed onto the village of Blatten. Ten million tonnes of ice, rocks, and mud cascaded down from the peak, literally burying the settlement.Of the 300 villagers, most managed to evacuate after experts issued advance warnings about the risk. However, one person remains missing. More than 90% of the buildings have been destroyed.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
