Tragedy in the Crowsnest - The Frank Slide

This year marks the 120th anniversary of the deadliest landslide event in Canadian history. In the early morning hours of April 29th, 1903, over 100 million tonnes of rock came off of Turtle Mountain, burying half of the town of Frank, Alberta. To this day, the scar across the floor of the Crowsnest Pass serves as a grim reminder of the deadly power of Mother Nature, as half of the mountain now serves as a tomb for at least 80 people.
