I saw the title and thought nothing of it but when I saw a picture I was shocked at how big the boulder was... Very lucky that it stopped right by the house.


Dramatic pictures have been released showing the destruction wrought by a huge boulder that smashed through a farm in Northern Italy after being dislodged by a landslide.The massive rock narrowly missed a farm house, destroyed a barn, and stopped in a vineyard at the property in Ronchi di Termeno.
A second giant boulder detached during the landslide stopped behind the house.
The family living there was unharmed in the incident, on 21 January.

wow, miraculous that it didn't plough through the house itself :O

Just realised that that may well seem like a distasteful joke, so no pun intended :P
