And one day before Christmas! A rock fell in Mils near Imst in the Tyrolean Oberland on Saturday night. A huge boulder crashed through a shed and came to rest right in front of a residential building. Four houses had to be evacuated. A crack in a tunnel can also be caused by the falling of rocks.
The rockfall took place shortly before midnight in Mils near Imst. A boulder about four by four meters in size crashed through a shed and eventually came to rest near a utility pole a few meters in front of a residential building.
Firefighters have evacuated homes
“Four residential buildings were evacuated by the fire brigade on the orders of the mayor. The people could be temporarily accommodated with relatives or during a rest break,” the police reported.
Crack in the tunnel caused by falling rocks?
The boulder probably also hit the dam or fill of the southern tube of the Milser Tunnel. “A small crack was found in the tunnel tube, but this cannot necessarily be attributed to the event,” the researchers continued.
State geologist takes a photo on site
The entire area will be flown over with a drone on Saturday. The state geologist will then assess the situation. Fortunately, no one was injured.
