The new dam failed in 1942 with no loss of life.

The dam failed on 14 May 2003 and forced the evacuation of 1800 people.

Less than ten minutes later the dam had failed, releasing 92 million gallons of water towards town.

Fortunately, the dam failed before any water had been stored.

The dam failed during construction on 6 February 1997 due to heavy rain.

The dam failed six days later during heavy rain.

However, over the years, despite dire predictions of some, the dam had not failed completely since 1862.

Engineers estimated that if the dam failed, they would have 30 to 45 minutes notice before the water reached the city.

When the dam failed, 600 000 m3 of liquid flowed 4 km.

If the dam fails to hold, this will cause a real disaster.
