Frank Slide - Disasters of the Century

The Frank Slide was a rockslide that buried part of the mining town of Frank, Alberta, Canada. The province of Alberta was not created until September 1905, more than two years after the slide. The community was still part of the Northwest Territories when the incident occurred at 4:10 am on April 29, 1903. Over 82 million tonnes (90 million tons) of limestone rock slid down Turtle Mountain within 100 seconds, obliterating the eastern edge of Frank.
