Yesterday, Apr 29, was the 120th anniversary of the deadliest #landslide in #Canadian #history - the #FrankSlide.
The town of Frank was incorporated in 1901 to mine #coal in #TurtleMountain in the #CrowsnestPass region of southwest #Alberta. Most of town was situated in the flat valley bottom immediately north of the mountain, and a CP rail track passed through.
