Monte Toc

On October 9, 1963, 260 million cubic metres of rock slid down the side of Mount Toc caused by a minor earth tremor and plunged into the reservoir created by the Vajont Dam at an estimated 100 mph, sending a wave of water 250 metres high over the dam wall and destroying the town of Longarone and its suburbs.
