Image description

An aerial photograph of Longarone, Italy, from October 10, 1963. Two thirds of the houses in the village are submerged in the mud. In the dam accident in Longarone, Italy, about 2000 people died on October 9, 1963. That evening, the entire northern slope of Monte Toc collapses under a landslide; directly into the reservoir. The dam does not break, but the water sloshes over and falls down the valley in a 140 meter high wave.
