Thank you so much for your words, @OlgaKlimchik
I consider the mistakes as an opportunity for learning and improve. The '60 in the world were the years of the economical rise, after the destruction of the WW2.
The men landed on the moon, and many thought that everything was possible, with the dominance of humanity over nature.
Now we know that this is not possible
@ErmesT Unfortunately we continue to make such mistakes again and again. And with the development of technology these mistakes become more and more significant.
So the posts like yours are so important.
Technology is a tool @OlgaKlimchik
We can use it in different ways. Being Local Guides, we use technology every day for helping others, with the technology we can collect a huge amount of data, helps visually impaired people to have a better life, we can make fast calculation.
The way that everyone use the technology is of course subjective, but it can be an hope for a better life.
Of course, behind the technology there are individuals, who can choose how to use this powerful tool
@ErmesT Me pone triste leer el post, por lo que representa y la historia que cuenta, la rotura del paredón fue una gran tragedia, las personas que se fueron es muy triste, muchas de ellas ni llegaron a saber que les pasó.
Una de las cosas que me paso cuando lo vi al post fue, una especie de deja vu muy extraño, me vinieron a la mente que esto ya lo avía leído o comentando casi personalmente con vos, incluso me viene a la mente estar sentados los dos desayunando y comentando esto. Es muy raro. Como sea, resta bueno traerlo como historia y contarla.
Yes @FaridTDF , we had a chat about this place, with you and @KarenVChin , and it was your dinner time. It was a few days after my visit of the Vajont dam, on April 2018, and I was explaining all the story of the place and I shared with you and Karen my photos. You both convinced me to write the post, and I started to write on April. But I wasn’t able to post it, the first version was longer and very sad.
I tried to post on October 2018, for the anniversary, but again I wasn’t convinced about the structure of the post. Probably we also spoke about that together in San Francisco. Finally, after several changes, I decided to use more photos, and to make it less direct.
So, here we are
Gracias @ErmesT por traer esta historia
Thanks for sharing @ErmesT this wonderful review of the Vajont Dam.
You describe it very well with photography.
Learn lots of information from this post.
My elder brother lives in Rome, Italy with his family. I will share this story with him.
Thanks again.

I’m glad you finally got to finish the post you have been working on for so long @ErmesT . I still remember that you talked about this story already when we had the Meetup in Krakow, during the trip to the salt mine. And that is indeed more than a year ago.
The impressive story is a perfect illustration of the fact that the forces of nature should never be underestimated!
A nice story. All of the house made of Rock. The Mountain are consist of Dolomite its amazing.Thanks for share.
Hi @ErmesT !
I, as the rest of the LGs replying this post , am totally impressed about the Vajont Dam and all the horror caused.
You have perfectly transmit us your emotions with the big explanation and photos.
Your photos are transmitting the damage: the houses made of stone (a grey colour mimetized with the grey of the sky and the grey of the mountain where the dam is built), the empty windows and just a bit of colour with some flowers and grass.
This post is illustrative and emotional, you have managed to convey those sounds of sirens and the despair that is still latent in Longarone…
Thank you @MdAtikuzzamanLimon , for sure your brother will be interested in this sad, Italian story. It is an opportunity also to discover a beautiful hidden place
Like @FaridTDF , you have a good memory, @JanVanHaver
Yes, last year I spoke with a lot of friends about the Vajont Dam.
My hope is that we can learn from a such terrible experience, to not repeat the same mistake again
Thanking you for tagging me in this conversation, @KarenVChin .
What you shared is quite interesting as indeed such projects are fascinating. As to answer your question I have never been there, but I have heard about its enormous scales and the land it covers. It would be hard for me to compare it to the Vajont Dam project as it is also a place I didn’t get the chance to visit. However such places can be truly admired.
Thank you for your feedback, @AlejandraMaria
It means a lot, for me.
The colors will reappear, giving life to the grey
It was a very sad story 
@ErmesT i watched some videos of Vajont Dam after reading your post It explains why the town has been vacant for 50 years. Did you hear about a broken dam in Midland, Michigan here is the Video link
Yes, @Erna_LaBeau , I’ve seen it in the news, and it surprised me that two dams failed at the same time.
In the case of Vajont, the dam still be there, not damaged, the issue was that the whole mountain fallen down inside the lake, causing an emission of emission of energy equivalent to Hiroshima nuclear bomb. At that moment the dam was the tallest of the world
In my area we have a huge amount of dams, small and big, and near 100% of the electrical energy in my region is produced in a sustainable way (hydroelectric + solar). We are now used to see these lakes, in the middle of the Alps, but I believe that in the '60, the very high competition for the hunger for energy, linked to the need to grow after the Second World War, has made many forget prudence and respect for the territory
