The Vajont Dam disaster of October 9, 1963, in northern Italy demonstrates how ignoring geological warnings can lead to catastrophic consequences, when 270 million tons of rock collapsed into the reservoir, creating an 800-foot wave that destroyed five towns in just three minutes and killed 2,000 people, despite months of visible warning signs that engineers had disregarded.

Mountain Collapse Killed 2000 People in Minutes - Vajont Dam Disaster本站添加:
Did you know an entire mountain once fell into a lake and killed 2,000 people in minutes? October 9th, 1963, northern Italy. Engineers had ignored the warnings for months. The mountainside was cracking, moving toward the Vajont reservoir. At 10:39 p.m., 270 million tons of rock crashed into the water. The wave that followed was 800 ft tall. It moved faster than a car, faster than people could run. Five towns gone in 3 minutes. The dam still stands today, perfect and untouched, a monument to the villages it failed to protect.
