When Turtle Mountain Moved: The Frank Slide

On April 29, 1903 at 4:10 a.m., 30 million cubic metres, equaling 110 million tonnes, of limestone rock fell off Turtle Mountain onto the community of Frank, Alberta. It killed upwards of 100 people, and is still the deadliest landslide in Canadian history.
