Hey guys, you might find that interesting from an image point of view.
In italy a part of a summit broke off from the respective mountain and went downwards. Here's a photo showing the amount of dust formed in that event, so that's not fog, it's pulverized stone!

In report they say that most likely no one was harmed, no one is missed.

The rock that broke off was 20 by 30 by 100meter!
