The most devastating and deadly dam failures

When you hear of dams, you probably have plenty of questions, such as "how do they work" and "where are they placed". Another question is what happens when they fail. Dams contain unbelievable amounts of water, so dam engineering can be tricky. If there are any mishaps and the dam fails we are looking at some disastrous consequences. In this video, we bring you some of the most devastating dam failures that caused both many deaths and environmental damage. We start with the Tigra Dam in Sank River, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. In August of 2017, the dam failed due to infiltration into its sandstone foundations resulting in the deaths of about 1,000 people downstream. Next up is the Panshet Dam in Ambi River, Pune, India. The dam failed in 1961 due to the absence of reinforced cement concrete strengthening the conduit. The incident saw 1,000 people killed. The Möhne Dam in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany was bombed in 1943 during Operation Chastise in World War II, resulting in the catastrophic flooding of the Ruhr Valley. It is estimated that 1,600 civilians lost their lives. And that’s just a few of the horrific dam failures around the world. In the video, we bring you four more and explore in-depth the causes of their failures and the damages they incurred. Indeed, it seems that when dams go wrong they go very wrong. Want to learn more?
