Tragedy of the Saltville muck dam burst on Christmas Eve 1924

Saltville Virginia faced a white Christmas that turned to disaster as the muck dam released caustic chemical sludge. Nineteen people died and Palmertown suffered widespread destruction with homes flooded and families torn apart. Rescue crews recovered victims, and the town later rebuilt the dam while recalling the tragedy as a vivid, dreamlike memory.
