Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A torrent of rock and mud erupted onto the streets of the small Swiss village of Chamoson on Tuesday, shocking residents but causing no reported casualties.
The incident, similar in appearance to a volcanic flow, was triggered by a storm that caused a riverbed to expand and burst its banks.
Screams can be heard as detritus is slung up from beneath the bridge.
The incident was filmed by Delphine Thurre, who calmly backs away from the active area whilst keeping her camera trained on the unexpected event.
As the film goes on, the height and force of the ejections seem to increase.
Bystanders can initially be seen on the other side of the bridge also apparently filming the unusual activity.
Regional radio station Rhône FM reported that some houses have been evacuated.
