The fact that this study comes out of Berkeley cast a very dark shadow of doubt over it.

There are going to be political strings.

"there is still thread going on the dam, just updated earlier today."

Do you have the URL of the FR thread that is ongoing? I have a set of images and original computer graphics re the emergency spillway (not the failed main chute) to contribute...

I posted on March 1, 2017:

“I maintain that the thickness of the concrete was insufficient. That combined with the lack of REBAR caused a weak structure and points to an effort to reduce costs. I am sure Jerry Brown Jr. will make sure no fingers point to his father as the culprit.”

It looks like I zeroed in on the problem.

Brown can’t maintain a dam but he is going to solve global warming.

Your one sentence sums up the life the life of "Moonbeam" Brown

Don’t think this is the most recent, but is was 3-24-17.

There are older threads.

Simply google it: freerepublic.com Oroville Dam “April 2017”

Google is not your friend, but it is at times a very useful tool.

All that is posted on FR is quickly inserted into the search system there. (I only use it when I really need unusual data)

Thanks for info- I was responding to a poster, did not have the thread from fr, found by keyword “the dam” I think. FR has so many knowledgeable people on so many subjects. I have been educated, laughed at , amused and amused by the many posts.

Anywhere you find a Liberal, you find incompetence, corruption, and feces.

Moonbeam can’t maintain a dam, and wants to add the bullet train to nowhere to his list of incompetent, bumbling, accomplishments. What else could go wrong?

Oh yes. I am ofter taken to task for things I thought I understood that others have clear knowledge relating.

At times, I hold my position. At other times I must concede I was wrong.
