Sandstone boulder, which presented risk for residential buildings in Děčín, removed

Experts removed part of a sandstone cliff in Děčín, north Bohemia which had grown loose and presented a risk to two residential buildings below.

The chunk was removed only after safety fences were installed.

Only a smaller piece remained to still be taken down, a spokesman confirmed. Some 20 inhabitants should be allowed to return to their homes by Tuesday.
