Frank Slide

In less time then it takes to watch this video of two minutes a portion of the town of Frank Alberta was buried in about 90 seconds. At 4:10am on April 29, 1903, 82 million tonnes of limestone and shale crashed from Turtle Mountain killing over 70 people of approximately 600 residents.

@garycalgary It's really true. I live in Calgary and I've been there a few times. You just gawk at the slide as you drive past. It's really amazing, and it makes you feel so insignificant.

I saw it in books, my sister and her husband went there in the 1980s and told us all about it but really driving past it is surreal it was so huge

Nice video, I spend alot of time in the Pass. It still amazes me when I drive through to golf at Blairmore. The museum there is small but world class since the recent renovation.

Very Cool video... Next time you come to this area, consider staying at Turtleback Cottage Holiday Home!... it's on the other side of Turtle Mountain. I am seriously considering providing a link from my website to your video...would that be ok?
