The Frank Slide occurred in 1903 in the mining town of Frank, Northwest Territories, Canada. The mountain top just exploded and 90 million tons of rock buried the edge of the town killing around 80-90 people in 100 seconds. The people remain buried under the rocks till this day.
I heard about this for the first time on a TV news program yesterday. Mind blowing!

This same thing has happened a few times in BC. One such place (also on hwy 3) is Hope Slide. There is concern that some day we could see a massive slide in the Fraser Canyon that would block the might Fraser River.
