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.
