A crumbling house sits on the edge of a drop following a landslide where residential buildings collapsed into the Concordia lake at the village of Nachterstedt, July 19, 2009. Three residents were missing in the eastern German village of Nachterstedt after their lakeside home and another building suddenly collapsed early Saturday into the water. A 350-metre stretch of shoreline gave the way next to an old open-cast coalmine converted to a lake, about 170 kilometres south-west of Berlin. REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch (GERMANY DISASTER ENVIRONMENT)
