Taum Sauk Dam Failure

I don't usually cover the same event twice, but it has been a couple of years since I had an infrastructure post on the 2005 Taum Sauk dam failure. And I really like Practical Engineering videos, because I like the way Grady Hillhouse explains things for those of use who aren't engineers.

This is Practical Engineering's video The Wild Story of the Taum Sauk Dam Failure.

That previous post on this incident is Taum Sauk Dam Failure, at the archives. You will find the Dam Failures case study for Taum Sauk, and a link the PBS review of the event on the 10th anniversary of the failure.
