Nothing happened to the dam, the water just went around it.

The dam collapsed. You do realize that the earth around the concrete is part of the dam as well, right? Here's something that will blow your mind -- some dams are even made completely out of earth!

@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 The Dam Failed because it is 114 Years Old and Engineers at that time didn't understand what 18" of Rain could ever happen in the Area. The Water isn't suppossed to overtake the West Abutment of the Dam and start carving through Loose Soil and Sandstone. It is an Infrastructure Failure due to many decades of neglect.

@@bargdaffy1535 The diversion occurred because debris from the river washed down and limited flow through the gates. Had nothing to do with the actual age of the dam. The second largest flood in the history of the dam coupled with too many dead trees in the river.

As horrible as event is it could have been avoided but wasn't do to poor maintenance and neglect. Whomever is in charge of the maintenance on the damn dropped the ball so to speak. Most dams throughout the United States have some sort of barrier upstream from the dam to catch and redirect floating debris so that it can be easily removed before it gets near the dam and causes issues. People are saying it is a failure of the dam without a realizing what caused the issue. The intakes were plugged with debris forcing the water to go the route of least resistance which was the overflow Earth spillway which everyone knows will fail. So why didn't this damn have an upstream debris catcher diverter? Why wasn't the debris removed or even attempted to be removed? At the first sign of debris building up I feel had it been addressed and removal started then this collapse may have never happened.

In regards to the debris removal question you have: They said in the press conference on tuesday that the county hires an independent contractor to push debris thru the gates when it accumulates. They called that contractor after the debris started accumulating and the contractor said the equipment was 5 hours away. Neither the county nor the contractor were sure that it would have been safe for an operator to use the equipment, given the river discharge, by the time they could get the equipment there.

A massive amount of debris was hung up on the bridge just upstream. We had massive amounts of rain (I live seven miles away) and the debris broke loose last Sunday night. Monday morning water was overtopping the dam and it was deemed unsafe to send heavy equipment on the dam to remove the debris.

The dam it's self is fine what was not fine never in the history of this dam has so much water come down the river from record breaking rain fall. I now see that dam being removed for ever and thousands of tons of rock and soild hauled in to refill all that area that got washed out.
