On a Thursday afternoon in the alpine corridor between Susch and Zernez, a coach carrying Dutch tourists met the guardrail of a mountain road in Switzerland's Graubünden canton — and in that collision, several lives were lost. The incident, involving roughly 48 passengers traveling with Dutch operator OAD, drew helicopters, rescue teams, and the condolences of a nation's president to a remote and rugged landscape. As investigators begin the slow work of understanding what went wrong, the crash stands as a reminder of how swiftly the grandeur of mountain travel can turn to grief.
