From the article
: 'What caused a pinnacle of the glacier to break off and thunder down the slope at a speed estimated by experts at some 300 kph (nearly 200 mph), wasn’t immediately known'.
I'm a glacier speed expert. It took 12 years of graduate work. I get flown to all sorts of places with a giant glacier stopwatch to determine the speed of avalanches to no thanks from the general public. This has to change. The speed seems to be increasing as global warming ramps up. leading to the posting of 'no melting/no sliding downhill' signs on major peaks.
We 'experts' in all imaginary fields put in long hours of guesswork after the fact to bring useless detail to fake stories everywhere and deserve acknowledgement.

The pope has had interesting visitors the past month or so.
Headline today has him saying he might 'retire' as the vicar of christ but for now he wants to see Kiev and Moscow.
I am glad you stated "from the article" almost downvoted for "muh climate change" bs..kek.
I was kek-ing the whole idea of 'glacial slide speed "experts".
And all fake 'experts' from news stories.
