See Blatton village before and later.
Switzerland glacier collapse: On Wednesday, a terrible natural disaster in the Walis area of Switzerland caught the village of Blatton. The sudden breakdown of the birch glacier collapsed on the rocks, snow and debris, which destroyed the entire village. The good thing is that 300 people of the village were already safely evacuated in this accident, because scientists had feared disaster. Even sheep and cows had been delivered to safe places by helicopter. Now a picture has surfaced in which you can see the condition of the village before and now. We will also tell you how the situation reached here!
People remember the cloud of ‘atomic bomb’
The video of the accident became increasingly viral on social media, in which a huge cloud of glacier’s collapse and dust-dust can be seen. Seeing this, some people remembered the cloud of atomic bomb. Glacier expert Christoph Lambiel of Lozen University described it as “the most frightening position”. He said that scientists had an idea of danger due to the fall of small rocks, but the glacier was completely collapsed.
Danger averted or still intact?
According to the statement of the Walis Sarkar, the birch glacier has almost collapsed. About one mile long and dozens of yards thick debris is now spread in the valley. This debris has stopped the local Lonja River, making a lake. If this lake is erupted, it can take the form of sharp lava flow with the debris, which can cause further damage. According to the police, a 64 -year -old man is missing in the accident. Due to dangerous circumstances, their search has been stopped at the moment.
After all, why did this glacier break?
Lambial reported that the birch glacier was growing for the past decade, while the rest of the glaciers are retreating. The reason for this is climate change, which warmed the permafrost (frozen soil). This increased the volatility of the rocks and heavy debris on the glacier, which weighed about 3 million cubic meters. Swiss Environment Minister Albert Rosti said, ‘Nature is more powerful than humans, and hill people understand it well. But this accident is really extraordinary. At the same time, Blatton Mayor Mathias Belwald said, ‘Our village was buried in the rubble, but our lives are left. We will stand up again and stand again. ‘
