Italian Alpine Soldiers recovering the body of a man killed in the dam disaster in Longaron recently. A massive landslide into the already full reservoir of the Vajont Dam, the third highest in the world and the largest arch dam, sent a 300ft. wall of water careering over the lip and into the Piave Valley below, wiping out half a dozen villages, including the town of Longarone, and killing over 4000 people.
