The Italian Dam Disaster

The Vajont Dam was completed in 1959 on the Vajont River, in the municipality of Erto and Casso. On 9 October 1963, during initial filling, a landslide caused a mega tsunami in the lake and 50 million cubic metres of water overtopped the dam resulting in 1917 deaths in several downstream villages and towns.
