At 4:10 a.m. on April 29th, 1903, a giant and deadly rock slide covered parts of Frank, Alta. while most of the town's 600 residents slept.
“There was tragedy, lives lost - almost 100 lives, but it’s also a story of survival,” said Fred Bradley, with the Crowsnest Heritage Initiative. “Twenty-three of the almost 100 people buried by the slide came out of it. Seventeen coal miners miraculously came out of the mine and many other stories of heroism took place that day.”
In attendance was Krista Goosen. Her great grandfather survived the slide in 1903. During the service, Goosen laid a wreath on behalf of the families. “The road wasn’t re-established for at least another three years and the coal mine reopened in about three months.”
