4. Vajont the disaster was caused by a landslide from the northern slope of Mount Toc - located on the border between the provinces of Belluno (Veneto) and Pordenone (Friuli Venezia Giulia) - October 9, 1963. At 22:39 that day about 270 million m3 of rock slid at a speed of 30 m/s below the reservoir (which contained about 115 million m3 of water at the time of the disaster) created by the dam Vajont, causing a wave of flood that exceeds 250 m in height on top of the dam. The artifact remained intact. La diga del Vajont La diga del Vajont

8. October 9, 1963 The landslide that fell off at 22:39 from the northern slopes of Mount Toc hurtling into the reservoir below had gigantic dimensions. The impact force of the landslide created a wave, pushing east toward the center of Vajont that at that point spreads. This allowed the tide to lower its level and save for a few meters, the village of Erto and Casso but struck with unprecedented violence Longarone.
