Vajont

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Check out this drone video of the infamous Vajon Dam in northeastern Italy, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot pietropilot.  Vajont Dam is located on its namesake river in the municipality of Erto e Casso in the province of Pordenone, less than an hour's drive from Venice.  One of the tallest dams in the world, it failed catastrophically during the filling process in October, 1963, killing up to 2,500 people - one of the worst such disasters in history.  While the dam wall was reconstructed, the project was never completed.
