Vajont: 60. Anniversary of the Longarone dam tragedy
On 9 October 1963, at 10.39 pm , 260 million cubic metres of rock fell into the artificial lake formed by the Vajont dam, one of the highest dams in the world. The landslide formed a wave 250 metres high and 50 million cubic metres of water destroyed most of the houses in the village below (Longarone), killing almost 2000 people.
