Swiss Village Threatened by 1.2 Million Ton Rockfall

Graubünden Village Evacuated as Rockfall Imminent

Emergency Services on High Alert

A village in the Swiss canton of Graubünden is under threat from a massive rockfall estimated to weigh 1.2 million tons. The village of Innerferrera has been evacuated, and emergency services are on high alert.

The rockfall was first detected in early July, when a crack was discovered in a cliff face overlooking the village. Experts have been monitoring the crack ever since, and they say that it has been widening at an alarming rate.

On Tuesday, the crack suddenly widened by several centimeters, and experts say that a rockfall is now imminent. The village of Innerferrera was evacuated on Wednesday morning, and emergency services are now working to establish a safe zone around the village.

The rockfall is a major threat to the village, as it could destroy buildings and infrastructure and cause widespread damage. The Swiss government has declared a state of emergency in the area, and the military has been deployed to help with the evacuation and recovery efforts.

Experts say that the rockfall is likely to occur within the next few days, and they are urging people to stay away from the area. The village of Innerferrera is now closed to visitors, and all roads leading to the village have been closed.

The rockfall is a reminder of the dangers of living in a mountainous area. Switzerland is home to many steep cliffs and slopes, and rockfalls are a common occurrence. However, the rockfall in Innerferrera is one of the largest in recent memory, and it poses a serious threat to the village and its inhabitants.
