Astonishing new footage shows the moment a Swiss village was buried by a collapsing glacier yesterday, leaving homes in ruin and one person missing.
Video shows a huge cloud of ice and scree spewing over the village of Blatten on Wednesday, dwarfing tiny Alpine lodges as a chunk of the Birch glacier broke off.
Mud and rockfall hit homes as debris hurtled down the mountain slope and into the valley where the village was built.
