The Swiss village, Blette, has been partially destroyed after an avalanche of ice has fallen on it.

Blatten Mayor Matthias Bellwald has said that the unimaginable “has occurred”, but has promised that the village will have a future, the BBC wrote, Periscope.
Local authorities have sought support from the Swiss Army unit for assistance.
The village's 300 residents were forced to leave their homes on May 19th after geologists monitoring the area warned that the ice was unstable.
