Surely the most over-the-top headline of the year!

Various daily newspapers in the UK are reporting on the Pennan landslide situation (more of which below). However first prize in the hysterical over-reaction category (the British tabloids pride themselves in their ability to out-do each other in this class) goes to the Mirror for this headline:

Unbelievable! Meanwhile, back in the real world, the residents of the village have now been advised to leave the village for a week whilst the landslide is remediated. The plan appears to be to remove the unstable section above the road. The BBC has a good short video of the site here.
