Seconds From Disaster - S01E11 - Flood at Stava Dam

The Val di Stava Dam collapse occurred on July 19, 1985, when two tailings dams above the village of Stava, near Tesero, northern Italy, failed. It resulted in one of Italy's worst disasters, killing 268 people, destroying 63 buildings and demolishing eight bridges.
The upper dam broke first, leading to the collapse of the lower dam. Around 200,000 cubic metres of mud, sand and water were released into the Rio di Stava valley and toward the village of Stava at a speed of 90 km/h. Having crashed through the village, the torrent continued until it reached the Avisio River a further 4.2 km away, destroying everything in its path.

@DLPBurke But do you think that gives him right to insult my nation? Not to mention, this Australian was so pathetic in his ranting that he mistook nations. His description is a match for Russians, not Poles, Russians are a nation where you can't do anything without getting dead drunk, first.

Besides, his behavior is a troll one. Give me some credit, at least I tried to defend my statements without going for immature ranting.

@Wykletypl The guy may be ranting but he is right. Nothing good comes from that kind of immigration or from Africa in general.

@Wykletypl oh is the baby offended ? by the way u cocksucker im not Italian im Australian. WHAT YOU LEARNT , READ AND SEEN WAS WRITTEN BY SCUMBAGS LIKE YOU. books are writen by people, and that means that everyone writes their own opinion of wat they know. u are oblivious to the world and the media, u read books see tv and assume that everything is true. your the one whos immature by trusting everything that u hear. if i wasnt Portuguese/Australian i would rather be Italian than a drunk Polish

[Wykletypl]

@joe73411 Just reading your replies clearly shows you have problems.

You can't even come up with decent arguments, so you go for ranting and insulting.

Sorry, Italiano, I have no time for arguing with immature nationalist. I at least base my words on what I learnt, read and seen.

So go, have a nice sleep in bed... with mummy.

@Wykletypl naples used to be a beautifull city until italy bacame part of the EU, thats when the gates opened up to the rest of the garbage from other countries. now u see africans sleeping on the footpaths with rubish around them and polish with and endless supply of fucking wine and shouting at everyone they see.

[joe73411]

@Wykletypl yes coz u where there in roman times to know that?

[joe73411]

@Wykletypl since i didnt know what RADIO MARYJA was i searched the internet and this is what it says. Radio Maryja, it is financed by Jan Kobylański[7] (a Uruguay-based millionaire, who was reportedly prevented from entering the USA due to his alleged wartime collaboration with the Nazis, and is closely linked to the operator of Radio Maryja[8]). The station was also funded by Edward Moskal, the [9] chairman of the American Polish Congress. NOTHING TO DO WITH ITALIANS COCKSUCKER

@Wykletypl scum bags like you are the ones with problems.

@joe73411 And you fail to read with understanding... That statement wasn't made by an actor, it was said by Italian himself to Leon Degrelle, when he told them to stop playing and drinking and get into work.

And of course, it backfired on them - Degrelle couldn't make it out,given the fact his earlier education.

And don't boast about history - cause in the hindsights, Romans aren't really ancestors of Italy.
