About this listen

On the night of August 17, 1959, at 1137 PM, a powerful earthquake struck the picturesque vacation destination of West Yellowstone, Montana, leaving devastation in its wake. A mountainside crumbled, a lake emerged, and roads and homes vanished. Lives were forever altered as people found themselves trapped, some tragically losing their lives. The author, captivated by the aftermath, journeyed to the area just a day after the quake, gathering harrowing first-hand accounts and meticulously researching the event over the following months. Within a year, he crafted this poignant narrative, enriched with striking photographs that capture the disasters impact. - Summary by David Wales
