large-scale landslide occurred in a village in Norway in Northern Europe, causing 10 people to disappear and about 1,000 residents to evacuate.
The houses have been sucked into a huge sinkhole, but access to the ground is so dangerous that they are searching with helicopters and drones.

house collapses under the dark ground.
The large-scale landslide occurred in the Ask region, about 25 km northeast of Oslo, the capital of Norway.
More than 10 houses were sucked and destroyed through a huge sinkhole created by the landslide sinking.
Ten people were injured and ten were missing, and two children were included among the missing people.
In addition, as the sinkhole gradually widens, threatening neighboring houses as well, 1,000 residents of the village have also been evacuated.
Dozens of ambulances have arrived around the site, but rescue teams are unable to access due to the risk of further collapse.
For this reason, only the search for missing persons using helicopters and drones is taking place.

Landslide areas are relocated to clay areas where soil can turn from solid to liquid under strong pressure. It is said that a similar landslide occurred in Edo.
In Norway, a violent landslide in northern Alta last June wiped out several houses as part of the coastal land fell.
