Lucky toilet break
A tourist had a lucky escape in Austria when a 47-stone boulder landed on a toilet seconds after he finished using it. Austrian holidaymaker Josef Heller, 47, said: “I had just washed my hands - and as I walked out the door there was an explosion behind me and the whole house shook. When I looked back I realised a massive boulder had landed on the toilet - smashing it to bits. There was water and debris everywhere.”
The giant rock fell from a cliff overhanging the guest house in St. Gilgen in Austria. Police have now cordoned off the area amid fears more huge rocks could fall.
