Video. Switzerland: Experiment blast triggers artificial avalanche

An artificially triggered avalanche thunders down a mountain in the Vallee de la Sionne near Sion, Switzerland. The full-scale avalanche dynamics test site is providing scientists and engineers of the Swiss Institute of Research of Snow and Avalanches with essential data to understand and model avalanche motion.
