This Mountain is in Frank Alberta. South western Alberta, it has nothing to do with the NWT. My Great Aunt was one of the Survivors, She was the little baby that was found face down on a rock.. I don't know why you put that its the community of Frank NWT. if that don't cause confusion in people i don't know what will.. Its an awesome video i give it thumbs up. its the description that gets me.. sorry just had to mention it. i get upset when i see stuff that is wrong. its Misleading.

@Silvercrush1980 I know it's in Southern AB, I was there. Back in 1903 the community of Frank was actually apart of the NWT. Sorry just had to mention it. Look it up. Also, the end of the clip tells you the community is now apart of AB.

@TheGrantRant Ya llllllllllllllooooooonnnnnnnnn­nnnnnggggggggggg before the slide.. when the slide happened it was part of Alberta..

[TheGrantRant]

@Silvercrush1980 Research it. you're wrong

@beegirl111

that's an amazing place. The destruction that happened is hard to comprehend and to see it in the same state in 2011 is even more spectacular.

@Puppehland. Thanks for your comments. In 1903 the area that is NOW Alberta(without a U) was a part of the NWT. Google it. Thanks again.

Buildings were on fire and survivors called for help. Despite the obvious devastation, the pre-dawn darkness hid the magnitude of the event from most of the people of the Crowsnest Pass - then a clustered grouping of coal mining communities in the Northwest Territories, today part of the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass in southwestern Alberta

Live there honestly

@Silvercrush1980 @TheGrantRant is completely right... Alberta became a province in 1905, 2 years after the slide. The northwest territories encompassed most of western Canada (minus BC) until 1905 when saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba all joined Canada....

seeing what turtle mountain was before the slide, this disaster was just crazy. Just search up "Turtle Mountain before 1903" :O

@Puppehland I know. I just wished there was.

@Puppehland. Thanks for your comments. In 1903 the area that is NOW Alberta(without a U) was a part of the NWT. Google it. Thanks again.

@fonzdudett there is no video

[Puppehland]

It isnt in North west territories. its in Alburta.
