Leaders of Brienz, Switzerland have ordered residents to evacuate as a nearby rock mass threatens to collapse, taking the tiny town down with it. The evacuation comes after warnings that 2 million cubic meters of rock could fall on the town within the next 7 days, CNN reported.

Brienz’s leaders held a meeting on Tuesday night to order residents to get out by Friday evening.
