Glacier Collapse in Switzerland Buries Village Under Ice and Mud | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

A huge chunk of a glacier in the Swiss Alps broke off on Wednesday (May 28), causing a deluge of ice, mud and rock. As per the authorities, the collapse buried most of a mountain village that had been evacuated due to the risk of a rockslide. Reportedly, one person is currently missing. Videos shared online show the dramatic moment when the glacier partially collapsed, creating a huge cloud that covered part of the mountain as rock and debris came cascading down towards the village of Blatten.
