A crumbling house sits on the edge of a drop following a landslide in the village of Nachterstedt July 18, 2009. Three residents were missing in the eastern German village after their lakeside home and another building suddenly collapsed early Saturday into a lake. A 350-metre (1,148-foot) stretch of shoreline gave way next to an old open-cast coalmine converted to a lake, about 170 km (106 miles) south-west of Berlin.REUTERS/Thomas Peter (GERMANY DISASTER)
