Diga del Vajont

            09.10.1963 - 09.10.2023 

Sono trascorsi 60 anni da quando, quella sera alle 22.39, dopo giorni di pioggia incessante, una frana si staccò dal monte Toc e scivolò dentro all'invaso creato artificialmente con lo sbarramento della diga per produrre energia elettrica. Un volume di circa 270 milioni di m³ di roccia creò così un'onda che si elevò fino a 250 metri di altezza e scavalcò la diga. 25 milioni di m³ di acqua si diressero verso valle alla velocità di 100 km/h. Oltre la diga, la Città di Longarone (BL) venne distrutta in pochi attimi causando la morte di 1.910 persone.

60 years have passed since, that evening at 10.39pm, after days of incessant rain, a landslide broke away from Mount Toc and slid into the reservoir artificially created with the dam to produce electricity. A volume of approximately 270 million m³ of rock thus created a wave that rose up to 250 meters high and went over the dam. 25 million m³ of water headed downstream at a speed of 100 km/h. Beyond the dam, the city of Longarone (BL) was destroyed in a few moments, causing the death of 1,910 people.
