- All that loose sediment paired with a steady and fast-moving stream of water has created the perfect situation for this right here to happen. All of that water

Thank goodness we have a professor who is an expert to tell us that fast-running water and loose sediment is a bad combination.
Well said. “Experts” or Masters of the obvious.
LOL I know right.
You americans can't even figure out that when people walk around with guns, people get shot. How the heck would you know anything about water and loose sediments?
Get rid of the dam or it will keep eroding.
The obvious solution is get rid of the river !
@@Battleneter how you gonna do that???
Get rid of the Humans that make everything erode. On the subject of "erosion", there's no "erosion" taking place, there is however an enormous amount of "scouring" that's occurring!!!
And they have the bridge to worry about also.
@@user-ob8is8ts2n Lasers !, me always thinking outside the box!.
My left ear enjoyed this very much. I suddenly got scared my right ear was going deaf.
Why don't you get real. The reason that dam failed and was bypassed was in 1991 the lake became a "run of the river" dam due to silting up. The problem wasn't where the washout was. The problem was no flood control capacity due to silting up.
and that they let it block with trees, and never opened the sluice gates on the other side
All reservoirs are temporary, we are seeing the lifespan of the earlier dams playing out. It may take centuries for deep highland reservoirs to silt in but they will. Future generations will have to pay for our folly.
@@mrmoke2820 Exactly that...temporary. Furthermore, once a dam fails all the silt will eventually flow to the next downstream dam creating the potential for cascading dam failures. Finally, the larger the dam the much less economic it is to dredge the silt out, to the point where dredging would end up costing many times more than the original dam construction.
Seems to me it would be safer without the dam 🇬🇧
The county officials don't care because it doesn't affect any of them.
Who elected them? Do they care?
TY for the new video keep it coming
Dynamite the dam save the store and the west bank
Down stream?
The Dam store is too close to the edge to be operable where it is, it will need to be moved regardless
They should have done that as soon as the dam was breached!
@jeffsamuelson4396 yeah they took it down
@@jeffsamuelson4396 It was.
If the "experts" were really experts they would have built a spillway for that dam in the first place and would have avoided all this.
Not maintaining the dam was the perfect storm.
Fingers crossed , hoping and praying their store survives!
The store is the least of the problem at present... experts are predicting that half the state could disappear!!!
Sorry for their loss. But this is amazing the power of water. This is how the grand canyon formed over time
@@Fusion_4000 the flood of the Bible Noah and his three sons and their wife's story's in Genesis in the Bible.
@@user-ob8is8ts2n This erosion is a real problem, user, and requires real solutions. Your fabrications about a genocidal god do not help.
The dam outlived its life. Reports shown years ago it needed repaired or removed. This is on the state
Save the Dam Store, blow the damned dam!
Them soils were not meant to be part of the dam or part of the dam for that matter. The water should not have been over there in the first place. The dam should have been fixed or breeched as to what they found in their study. Had that been done this would not be news right now.
I love the phrase...."the experts"......how foolish
A few things why cant they get a crane out to remove the wood blockage or use dynamite tannerite.And open the gates rest of way. Two drop huge blocks next to erosion side with helicopters
The dam was there for a reason.
The store owners should sue the county, They know the dam was faulty years ago and did nothing.
Sue the County? Who will pay the settlement? Trump Inc.?
I'll leave it to the experts to figure out how to stop it. Maybe nature should take its course.
That was really weird how you used stereo to switch back and forth between my ears. Why?
Production costs.
Boss makes a dollar production makes a dime
@@jeffsamuelson4396 What risk does production take?
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky well if you do a bad job you will get canned
Get rid of the damn and bring back the beavers.
Remove the dam ASAP. Army Corps of Engineers can do it.
"Experts" would have blown the dam Tuesday.
Are you an expert?
Einstein's after the fact.
BOY THOSE PEOPLE MUST HAVE WENT TO COLLEGE,WOW,AND I BET THEY TOOK THE SHOT,WOW,THATS OUR LEADERS,PLEASE CLAP

Less yelling please, the audio was bad enough
Drive Piling into the bedrock and build a concrete wall?
Cost?
Experts 😂
why can't broadcast tv ever get the audio tracks right when they upload to youtube?
Production costs. How much do you pay for broadcast tv?
The other bank is getting cut too, are they watching that?
not at all, they need a YT expert like yourself to help them.
@@theboringchannel2027 lol well they sure as heck missed seeing the side of the dam wall going didn't they? And they are letting people stand around over there. As fast as that water was going they will be lucky if the river doesn't just decide to go straight through from the Southern loop to the dam like it is already trying to do. The experts care so much they have not fixed the issue since it broke in 2019, they took the lazy way out.
@@peggyisme of course, the engineers on site missed what you spotted in a video on youtube,
once again confirming your expertiese.
@@peggyismePeggy I know you've worked hard to be a veteran keyboard warrior but even the owner of the dam store said they didn't know how bad it was until they heard a bang in the middle of the night
@@jeffsamuelson4396 the owner of the dam store is a hydrologist engineer with geologic erosion education??? Where were the civil engineers that should have been watching it after it rated so poorly?

Lol Experts. Doesn't take a expert to know why.
is malice suspected?
hmmm. you think the rock below the sediment was loose from rain too? C'mon.
The sandstone below the sediment was eroded away by the river.
THIS WAS A MAN MADE DISASTER. I'm no arm chair person. RWJ
loose soil LOFL

..and these freaks are alleged experts 🤔
Where were you when the dam was put in?
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky Not sure. What's the timestamp?
@@mickeysmiths Timestamps had not been invented.
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky Damn.. there's always a catch (yes, pun intended) 🤣 We should invent one now 👍

Experts???... Show me an expert and i'll show you someone that doesn't know what day of the week it is!. 5,000 Children die from Starvation each Week throughout the World... Where's the "expert" that's able to end the suffering of innocent young lives???
Save the Children. Save all the Freaking Children .
What is So Dam Sad NOT one Truck Load o Giant Rocks 🪨 to Stop the Land to be sweep away by the Water. Is the a Republican City? Second when Lake Erie Has a very Bad North Eastern the People call the for help with Giant Rocks to stop losing the Land. Your Governor is Waiting on Federal Taxpayers Money ,that is Wrong. I could have Save all those Buildings. People I will Pray for your City. Peace Be With You
i dont know why you blame republicans for this, politics isnt everything, though i fully agree they could have been pushing truck loads of rocks off the edge of the road this whole time.
@@jsnsk101 The roads were flooded. Trucks could not get through. The heavy trucks would sink down in the mud.
