Huge landslip kills four people; A fatal end for at least four persons had a normal Sunday afternoon ride in car, when more than 150,000 m3 of stones and mould detached itself on a near slope and thundered down on the street, where the two automobiles were interested and crushed. The reason for this landslip is probably the strong rain of the precedent days. Photo Shows Salvage operation. The ruins of one of the crushed cars. The catastrophy happened in the canton Schwyz.
