Million Ton Landslide-More than a million tons of coal mine refuse, known as "gob", blocked an Eastern Ohio road, a creek and a spur line of the Pennsylvania railroad near here yesterday. Aerial photo shows the refuse moving across the road and blocking waters of the creek. The mining town of Florence was virtually isolated until a bulldozer cut a path for the creek. The pile is 700 ft long, 40 ft high and moved at rate of a foot per minute.
