20 Massive Dam Failures Caught On Camera

Spread The Viralist



There are a lot of things about mankind that is impressive, and one of them by far is
our ability to go and build structures that can do incredible things. We’re not even
talking about basic housing, but things like skyscrapers, or monuments like the
Eiffel Tower or Mount Rushmore. And of course, there are structures that go and
have a “glorious purpose” if you will like roads, bridges, and of course, dams. But
when dams fail, they fail big. So from China’s Banqiao dam to the Dam Collapse in
Brumadinho allow us to show you 20 Massive Dam Failures Caught On Camera!

  1. I am not shocked by the number of dam failures because I know of them all. What did shock me was the number of damn puns with the word dam.

  2. The failure of the Baldwin Hills Dam was caused by nearby oil drilling. Subsidence in the ground beneath the reservoir along a fault line caused cracking in the reservoir floor and beneath the dam. The cracking allowed "piping" where water begins to excavate a hole in the wall of the dam. To their credit DWP staff on their daily inspection noticed excessive leaking and began a procedure to drain the dam while evacuating the area below. The former reservoir site is now part of Kenneth Hahn Regional Park, but the oil drilling continues nearby. I was a young kid who just turned 5 but vividly remember the event as it was captured live on TV from one of, if not the first, TV news helicopters in the world. Watching it fail bit by bit in real time was quite an experience. When I walk the site I can picture all of that happening and it still gives me the willies to think about it. Years later we would be chased out of our own home by the near failure of two other LA DWP dams, Upper and Lower Van Norman Dam, as a result of DAMage suffered in the Sylmar Earthquake.

  3. I mean can you put the correct damn failures with what your talking about at that time!? I mean your talking about a dam failure while showing a tsunami breaching it's sea wall. and talking about one failure in ²Brazil that happened in the 80s. and showing video from one that just happened.

  4. The first dam filmed in daylight as the narrative claims it happened at midnight, it then shows the last japanese tsunami, there was no domino effect, I have searched and can only find one dam bursting.

  5. The information was interesting however: your constant dam puns, jokes and play on words was very tiresome. But thanks for the awesome video.

  6. You fancy Banana… what have the pictures from the Japanese tsunami to do in a video about dam failures ?? So that means we can't trust what you show and tell us ? I done with your videos !

  7. How can you show us videos of Tsunamis while talking about dam collapses?
    Also, while talking about and showing us a dam collapse in the USA you are showing video clips of a dam collapsing in Europe!
    This video is ridiculous.
    Don’t waste you time viewing this ridiculous video about “Dam Collapses”.

  8. I love how this gentleman his on how the government isn't focusing on the dams. The weather is changing and some states in the USA are being affected tremendously.

  9. What’s amazing is this is about dams failing, but in dam number 20’s footage in China, there is bits of film from tsunami flooding, which is from a Japanese coastal town! Get your facts right, before you put your video out there!
