Partial failure? Sure ... I guess now that the river just decided to go around, the dam is working just fine.
-
The dam didn't fail, the land around it did.
-
I live not far from this dam and the store has the best pies you'd ever eat. Shame it might all fall. Nice family also. Zeppelin said it best, " when the levee breaks you got no place to stay."
-
infrastructure is greatly needed in this country
-
The dam didn't fail. The ground around it did sorry to say. The gates should have been completely removed since the dam was inoperable since 2019.
-
Poor maintenance. All that debris should have been cleared, as soon as it started to jam up. That still should be done.
-
Why are so many people saying that they should sue the dam owners. Considering that the dam is still standing despite losing the embankment it was attached to is rather impressive. The ground was extremely saturated that is why it gave away. If the strengthen the embankment it probably would have eroded around that to.
-
Dam it…
-
Local authorities do not think the dam structure itself is at risk of failing. Where do you get this stuff, CBS? I'm watching local news here in the Twin Cities. Yes, the water is running around the dam, which is Very Bad, but... Hype, hype!
-
Were are the people going to get electrity from wind energy?
-
It looks like she owns now part of the river
-
Was that a cemetery falling into the river too at the end of the video?
-
Does CBS not know how a dam works? Smh.
-
Nice weather for one.
-
No one would vote for a politician whose agenda is to fix the infrastructures in their state. No one wants to spend tax dollars on fixing bridges, dams, freeways, we all just take them for granted, until they fall apart and then people complain that no one did anything to save them.
-
Partial?
-
All the dams are 50 to 100 years old. My husband had a dam business and after looking at one in Michigan..that one he looked at did fail and 3 others broke..taking many towns down. It is sad.
-
Who ever owns the dam should be sued for negligence!
-
Would dropping and stacking large boulders along the water edge possibly slow the erosion? Something is better than nothing being done.
-
Lots of great deals on used cars up there .
