In northwestern Italy, a landslide hit a 100-year-old cemetery. It is reported by the BBC.

Hundreds of coffins with human remains from a cemetery located on the cliff of the resort town of Camogli near Genoa fell into the sea.

The landslide also destroyed two chapels, which were also washed into the water.

Cemetery workers witnessed the collapse. As noted, brigades of divers, boats of the coast guard and firemen arrived at the scene – they fished about 200 coffins from the sea.

Camogli Mayor Francesco Olivar called the incident an incredible disaster and added that it is almost impossible to predict this kind of landslides.

  • On the night of December 30, a landslide occurred in the city of Ask in Norway. Several hundred people were evacuated, ten were declared missing, and the bodies of five dead were found a few days later.
