A Swiss village has all but been wiped off the map after a glacier collapsed, burying Blatten in dirt and debris.
The massive glacier detached Wednesday and plunged down a mountainside upon the 300-person village covering almost all of it, according to NPR.
The disaster had been feared, leading Swiss authorities to evacuate the community on May 19.  The airlift took sheep and cows to safety.

Officials said a 64-year-old man was reported missing, and amid uncertain conditions and fears of more landslides, the search for him was suspended.
