It is Bush's fault. He had the dam attacked by beavers.
According to Farrakhan.

At any point during the last century, did anybody consider replacing this with a concrete dam?

While listening to FOX, I heard there is another dam further downstream..officials fear that if the weakened dam fails, the surge of water will take down that dam..sort of a domino efffect..anyone have a map showing the second location?

Tragedy TV has choppers all over just waiting for the dam to collapse.

More importantly, will we see mass looting and rioting if the dam breaks?

I wonder if anyone will blame Bush for the destruction of the rare, Massachusettsean wild Taunton habitant?

After all, how will Han Solo and Luke Skywalker roam around the ice planet Hoth without Taunton's tauntons?

:-)

Does anyone know what personal liability the owner of a privately owned dam would have to everyone affected by a burst, to their lives or property?

"I never figured I'd need it," Weyant said. "We're in the city. You don't get flooded in the city."

Not the shapest knife in the drawer, is he.

The working-class city was last flooded in March 1968 when the same dam was breached.

And I don't suppose he's ever heard of New Orleans.

The dam was built to power local textile mills.

Then the steam engine was invented. Maybe it would be best to dismantle the dam. It could be rebuilt, but if it is not needed for industry it might as well go away.
