"Earth opened" in Norway: 10 injured and 26 missing after landslide (IMAGES / VIDEO)

The earth opened up and a mountain collapsed from the landslide, crushing houses and buildings in a short period of time and before anyone could realize the slightest thing.

Everyone just heard a deafening sound and lost the earth from their feet.

According to foreign media, more than 10 buildings were destroyed, while about 500 people have been evacuated from the area for fear of further destruction.

Rescue crews arrive with difficulty and only by helicopter since the area remains geologically unstable and a new landslide can occur at any time.

Scientists say the landslide was most likely caused by the huge amount of rain that the area has received in recent days. The situation is very serious, said the head of the police operation in the area. The country's Prime Minister, Erna Soldberg, sent a message of support to the residents of the area affected by the landslide. "I am saddened to see the destruction caused by the forces of nature in Gjerdrum. "My thoughts are with those who have been affected."
