Frank Slide

One of the largest landslides in Canadian history occurred in 1903 with the Frank Slide, when 44 million tons of rock fell. It buried an entire village and killed 70–90 people. A horse named Charlie survived a month buried underground following the landslide, but it ultimately perished from being overfed oats and brandy by its rescuers.
