Summary:

On CNN today (May 18), there is an amazing video of a 300,000 cubic meters landslide in the Swiss alps. It's stable footage from a helicopter. Perhaps as impressive as the landslide are the obvious fractures in the ground that has not yet failed but will inevitably go. One of the rips goes right through a barn. It is at Preonzo, Switzerland, according to a YouTube version.
