On June 11, a huge chunk of the summit of Fluchthorn (also known as Piz Fenga) collapsed. The 3,399m mountain is in the Silvretta Alps.

Sometimes nature is not our friend. Click through to the video, it’s pretty amazing.

So it is, my bad. I got through earlier, I wonder if they locked it down further.

Footage is on YouTube too if you can live with that.

  Ouch, that looks really, really scary. Was someone hurt?

    Fortunately no. The one town nearby had already been evacuated.
