Controlled Avalanche Seen in Austrian Alps
Antonina Zado recorded a controlled avalanche being carried out in the resort area of Kleinwalsertal on February 3. "After a snowfall, potential avalanches are often 'defused' as a precautionary measure by the mountain rescue service, releasing them in a controlled manner using explosives," Zado told Storyful. Zado said it was the first time she'd seen controlled avalanches during the daytime, adding that it was not near a ski area. (Footage by Antonina Zado/Storyful via Getty Images)
