Fortunately, the village below had been evacuated although I did hear one person was unaccounted for.

Yeah it certainly is. I'm not familiar with the structure of that glacier/its surroundings and therefore how much or little ice it took to trigger that rockslide but the volume of material coming down the slopes into the village is quite striking.

I did see some reports that this sort of thing has happened there before too but this one does still look like a significant one.
