Don’t worry, the entire village beneath the mountain was evacuated in anticipation of this massive rockfall. There are a variety of factors that trigger rockfall. Water surrounding the rock could freeze and then thaw, forcing the rock apart. Alternatively, when the wind blows on trees, their roots can shift and break rocks apart.
