The Blons avalanches in Austria was one of the worst mass burials by avalanche in recorded history. This happen in 1953, but it was reported in 1954 because of the low technology that they use, one year later they put together all the causes of the avalanche and they made it public.
The small village of Blons near Bludenz, Vorarlberg in the Austrian Alps was hit by an avalanche at 9:36 a.m. on 12 January 1954. A second avalanche hit the village at 7 p.m. as rescue workers attempted to dig out the 118 persons buried by the first avalanche. The village had a population of 365 people, of whom 57 were killed and 22 injured. Two bodies were never found. 29 of the 90 buildings in the village were destroyed.
