Silent witness of rockfall in Tramin

Details

An impressive rock mass fall occurred on 21 January 2014 in Tramin/Termeno, South Tirol, Italy. Luckily this event did not cause casulaties, but only quite some material damage. A silent witness shows that the event was not a complete surprise. Have a look at the Landslide Blog of Prof. Dave Petley for an interesting photo series of the event.
