.........this morning part of a cliff or "falésia" collapsed on several people who were on the beach in the Algarve.

Horrific stuff, still people missing.

I know it is not in English but they have videos:

The president, the prime minster (intended) all went there.

It's been an issue for years on that beach and many others, and usually these events happen in winter.
There is nothing to stop it from occurring in summer though, as it was seen today.
