Disasters Of The Century - Rogers Pass Avalanche (2004)

On March 4, 1910, a crew of over 60 men was dispatched to Rogers Pass, B.C., to clear the railroad tracks of an avalanche that had fallen earlier in the day. As the men were working, a second avalanche stormed down on them and they were buried in the snow along with the train locomotive they had traveled on. Rescue parties dug 58 people out of the avalanche and 4 more were found when the snow melted in the spring.
