Exactly a quarter of a century has passed since the tragedy in which 50 people – mostly children – died. July 20, 1998 was a hot summer day. Around three in the afternoon, heavy rain started, and shortly before six in the early evening, the sky split open. Water rushed through the valley of Mala Svinka. In a single hour, the water level rose by six meters. There was panic and shouting in the settlement in Jarovnice in the local part of Močidľana where 50 people died.

Not much has changed since …
