[en] Using years of high resolution solar footage obtained at Big Bear Solar Observatory, flare associated filament eruptions were studied. In addition to the classical type eruption consisting of expansion and breakup, evidence was found of another type where a layer is shed from the filament and erupts while the inversion line filament below (or, what is left of it) remains in place. Both types of eruptions are presented. It is hoped that the new evidence will shed new light on the understanding of the role of filaments in flares
