On October 9, 1963, 260 million cubic metres[2] of rock slid down the side of Mount Toc and plunged into the reservoir created by the Vajont Dam, causing a megatsunami 250 metres high over the dam wall and destroying the town of Longarone and its suburbs.[2][3] 1,918 people were killed, 1,450 of whom were in Longarone.

Oktober 1963, als Teile des Berges in einem Bergrutsch in den aufgestauten Lago del Vajont fielen und eine Flutwelle verursachten, dem der talabwärts gelegene Ort Longarone und weitere umliegende Orte zum Opfer fielen. Bei der Katastrophe starben etwa 2000 Menschen.[1]

Il Monte Toc è una montagna delle Prealpi bellunesi alta 1.921 m. Situato sul confine tra la provincia di Pordenone e la provincia di Belluno, tra la val Gallina, la valle del Piave e la valle del Vajont, è divenuto tristemente famoso per il disastro del Vajont: il 9 ottobre 1963 una colossale frana cadde dai fianchi dirupati del monte nel lago artificiale sottostante, straripando oltre la diga del Vajont, distruggendo diverse frazioni di Erto e Casso e Longarone e provocando 1917 morti.
