An unusual rockslide in Sand in Taufers, Italy
An unusual rockslide took place in Sand in Taufers, Italy, on the morning of April 24 and was caught on surveillance video.
The incident involved a large boulder going down a hill without any rotations, looking like it was going down a slide.
On its route down, the boulder nearly collided with a house before coming to a stop in the middle of a road.
Nobody was injured in the event and the boulder was shortly after removed by the authorities.
