Further to this, the Police checked the landslip with heat-seeking equipment, which showed nothing underneath. A full excavation was only carried out after checks on mobile phone calls and credit card use placed the missing people in the area of the village. The car was crushed flat to the tops of the wheel arches, it looked like a Fabia, a small Škoda certainly, and nobody could have survived a couple of hundred tons of rock and mud falling twenty feet onto their car.
Desperately bad luck the have been there at that moment.
This was on the BBC West of England news a short time ago.
