The Frank Slide rockslide disaster

Over 110 million tonnes of limestone rock slid down Turtle Mountain into Frank, Alberta on April 29, 1903. This massive rockslide that buried part of the mining town of Frank, Alberta at 4 a.m. and killed more than 70 people. Witnesses reported that within 100 seconds the rock reached up the opposing hills, destroying the eastern edge of Frank, the Canadian Pacific Railway line and the coal mine
