A devastating glacier collapse in the Swiss Alps unleashed a torrent of ice, mud, and rock on the mountain village of Blatten on Wednesday (May 28), burying nearly 90% of the evacuated area in a catastrophic landslide. Dramatic footage captured the moment the glacier gave way, sending a massive debris cloud cascading down the mountainside. One person remains missing as authorities assess the wreckage. Geologists had warned of imminent collapse earlier this month, prompting the evacuation of Blatten’s 300 residents just days before disaster struck.
