All right, listen everybody. This is

0:02

something that you don't see every day.

0:04

An entire massive mountain in Europe is

0:07

breaking apart. And it is literally

0:10

breaking apart. We can see it. We can

0:13

look into the ais. It's really, really

0:15

crazy. And it's right on the border

0:17

between Germany and Austria. So, both

0:20

countries are affected by this. The

0:22

mountain is 8,500

0:25

ft high, close to 3,000 m, and it's

0:30

called the Hoger. It's a German word. If

0:33

we translate it, it's like the high

0:36

bird. But right now, this guy is

0:40

splitting into two. And we're not

0:43

talking about thousands of years. We're

0:45

talking about right now in real time.

0:49

And that could have an effect. I mean

0:51

after bloodton in Switzerland we all

0:54

know what this means because right now

0:56

the scientists are not longer asking if

1:00

it will collapse only when and I've

1:03

reported about this I think a year ago

1:06

but now here's the latest at the summit

1:09

of the hoof fog there's a massive

1:11

fracture that has opened and widened

1:14

since I last talked about it and guys I

1:17

want to make clear this is not just a

1:20

track. This is a deep structural break

1:23

and at that time of the year when the

1:24

snow is melting and rain is coming um

1:27

that is when we have a very very high

1:31

risk of something like this happening.

1:34

We've seen it with bloodton. This was

1:35

the time when she started to his hit the

1:39

fizzy. And I want to tell you how deep

1:41

this crack is because that is massive.

1:43

So we're talking about 130 feet deep.

1:47

That's over 40 m guys. This is how you

1:50

can look into this if you were as crazy

1:52

and tried to go there and look down

1:55

because you might be standing on a

1:57

mountain that literally could crack

1:59

apart any moment. So, you don't want to

2:01

stand there wide. It's already 10 ft

2:05

wide that's over 3 m and it's cutting

2:09

straight across the peak of the

2:11

mountain. So, this is quite a

2:14

substantial mountain peak that everybody

2:16

knows in the area. So they call it like

2:19

the Matahorn

2:21

um of the algoy. So Matahon is in

2:24

Switzerland, but that's what they call

2:26

it. It's a significant mountain peak

2:28

that everybody recognizes. So if that's

2:30

gone, bad, right? And I want to say that

2:35

the depth and the width of that crack is

2:37

growing every year about 1 to two

2:40

inches. That's roughly like 3 to six cm.

2:44

like this doesn't sound much, but guys,

2:46

that can have a huge implication because

2:49

it is going to lose stability at some

2:52

point. And it seems we're not far away

2:54

from that. So, think about this. You

2:56

really have to get this in your hand.

2:58

We're dealing with a mountain that's

3:00

8,500

3:01

ft tall and it's actively tearing itself

3:06

apart inch by inch. And right now we

3:09

already have 140,000 cubic meters that

3:12

were coming down from this peak. But we

3:16

have around another 260,000

3:18

cubic meters of rock that are unstable

3:22

right now. That's about 9 million cubic

3:25

feet. They're ready to break loose and

3:27

probably will break loose all at once.

3:30

And here is what makes this even more

3:32

serious. The unstable section. Which

3:35

countries affected? Germany and Austria.

3:37

Are they both affected? Well, most

3:40

likely we can say that where it's going

3:43

to break apart, the shizzy is going to

3:45

hit the fizzy in Austria.

3:49

If it collapses, it will fall into the

3:51

Hanbach Valley that's down below the

3:55

summit. And guys, you have to understand

3:58

that won't be just falling rocks. That

4:01

can trigger like a domino effect. We've

4:04

seen it in Blaten. The gla the top was

4:06

breaking apart, falling on the glacier.

4:09

Glacier was breaking apart, tearing

4:11

everything with it. So, we have probably

4:14

in the works here. Starts to crack,

4:17

starts to crumble, massive rockfall,

4:20

debris flows, mud, avalanches that are

4:23

racing down into the valley with within

4:27

seconds. So the southern summit there is

4:30

now classified as acutely unstable

4:33

acutely. So there used to be a climbing

4:36

road right through this zone. It's

4:38

called the Boymanheim V. This has been

4:41

shut down for years because what's if

4:44

going up there right now is basically

4:46

risking your life. But just two days ago

4:50

there was another article that hikers

4:52

still want to get up there and are

4:54

getting up there from the other side.

4:55

They want to go up there one last time

4:57

before it's gone. I think this is crazy.

5:00

And you also see the images how they're

5:02

looking down into the abyss, right? This

5:04

is the crack where the people are

5:06

standing. I would not stand there.

5:09

Absolutely not. This going up there

5:11

right now is basically risking your

5:13

life. And here is where it becomes

5:15

something else entirely. The scientists

5:18

are of course now monitoring this

5:20

mountain. It's like a ticking time bomb,

5:22

that ticking clock. And they have

5:24

installed GPS sensors, laser scanners,

5:27

seismometers, right? And they can detect

5:29

movements smaller than a millimeter. And

5:32

many scientists say, well, the mountain

5:33

is singing. The seismometers are

5:35

registering the slow cracking of the

5:38

mountains. We know this from

5:39

earthquakes. If something cracks,

5:42

right? It it it it creates the

5:45

seismometers to scale. So because of

5:50

that, this

5:52

might be one of the few times in history

5:54

actually where a mountain collapse can

5:56

be predicted before it happens. So

6:00

researchers are saying if the crack

6:02

suddenly speeds up from about 0.4 in a

6:06

day right now to 0.4 in an hour, that's

6:10

it. That's the warning sign. It's like

6:13

if you want to fall a tree, right?

6:14

You're hacking into it. You're hacking

6:16

into it. you're hacking into it and and

6:18

it gets thinner and thinner and there

6:20

comes that moment when the tree gets out

6:22

of balance and starts to fall. So, it

6:25

accelerates,

6:27

that's what's going to happen to that

6:28

mountain. So, if that's the warning sign

6:32

that they're waiting for, right? 0.4 in

6:36

per hour. And at that point, authorities

6:38

could have just two to three days before

6:41

a major collapse. So, it's going fast.

6:45

But here's the part that most people get

6:48

wrong. This is not about melting

6:51

perafrost. What we're dealing with in

6:54

Switzerland in many mountains, this

6:55

mountain doesn't have permafrost. This

6:58

is something else. This is not thawing

7:00

and ice melting, glaciers melting, and

7:03

then making making the rocks instable

7:06

because the ice was keeping them

7:08

together. This mountain is made of a

7:11

brittle rock. That's the problem. the

7:13

the rock is called dolomite. And

7:17

unfortunately, this rock is already

7:19

naturally full of fractures. So what

7:22

we're seeing right now is one of these

7:24

fractures that is opening up under

7:27

stress. Water now gets into the crack,

7:30

makes it more vulnerable, right? It

7:32

water gets in, it freezes, water

7:34

expands. That of course is making the

7:38

crack wider and it slowly forces the

7:41

mountain apart. And when it rains like

7:44

everything accelerates. So that's why I

7:46

said right now we're entering a critical

7:49

phase. So the scientists observed that

7:53

the movement is increasing five to six

7:56

times faster during heavy rainfall

8:00

unfortunately. So what you're watching

8:02

here will not be just a sudden disaster

8:05

and it's not a sudden disaster. This is

8:08

a slow structural failure that is

8:12

reaching its breaking point. We're

8:14

close. And when that happens, it likely

8:17

won't be one single collapse. At least

8:19

that's what we're hoping for. That's

8:22

what they were hoping in Blaten. And

8:23

then everything came down at once,

8:25

right? So, by the way, if you want to

8:28

see what's happening in Blaten, I have

8:30

an update there. I have a Blatton

8:31

playlist. Check that out on my channel.

8:33

And please leave this video a like and a

8:35

hype. doesn't cost you anything, but it

8:37

helps my channel. Thanks for that. So,

8:40

right now, the experts hope, they say

8:42

they believe it will happen in multiple

8:45

stages over several hours. Now, here's

8:48

the part that sounds reassuring, but it

8:51

isn't. Actually, it's not. Um yes we can
