A mountain moving into a house

There are many mountains here in Norway.
Small and big.

Sometimes you see houses at the bottom of a mountain,
and wonder if those who live there, fear the mountain will
one day crush their house and themselves.

In the city of Ă…lesund, a mountain moved and crushed a house with ten apartments.
First floor was totally destroyed.
Second floor was badly damaged.
A fire started.
Five persons are missing.

If you try to click on the numbers on the following website

1. The building from the front.
2. The building from the side.

4. 21 persons lived in the building.
1 was away. 15 were rescued. 5 are missing.

The forces of nature.
