Found this now:

Landslide Kills On Algarve Beach: One Tourist Dead, Four Missing After Tragedy in Portugal | World News | Sky News

 

Now 5 fatalities, and possibly more...................

Not a great way to go.

 

Nasty

 

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.

 

The top part of this image below (was one of the parts that) fell on the people on the beach:




Here you can see the whole area affected:

 

I guess not many ppl go to the Algarve here

 

5 victims seems to the final number.

Bloody messed up!

Usually full of french and dutch ppl in that area, yesterday it was mostly locals.
