Brienz being evacuated; avalanche threat. (no, not THAT Brienz!)

From the 5/11 NY Times:

The threat of the mountain above the tiny Swiss village of Brienz has
loomed for centuries.

But state geologists and engineers warned on Tuesday that parts of the
mountain were dangerously close to collapse. And the roughly 85 people
who live in Brienz and in the path of a possible landslide or mountain
collapse were told to evacuate by Friday night.

Geological engineers starting monitoring the situation on the mountain
closely in 2017. In recent weeks, they have seen movement accelerate
in the more than 70 million cubic feet of dirt and rocks that make up
the parts of the mountain that could fall.
