Following the Landslide | Vajont Dam

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner Alberto Ardit brings us this highly creative first person view (FPV) piece from the site of one of the greatest tragedies of post-World War II Italy.  Using his FPV quad, he recreates the path of the destruction wrought by a landslide on Monte Toc which slammed into the reservoir of the Vajont Dam during its initial filling period in late 1963.  This caused a massive water spill over the dam wall, which formed a giant "tidal wave" that rolled over the Piave Valley below and killed up to 2,500 people.
