du-de viggity, somebody else (yread) here posted, but outside of this thread, don't ask why, that Hoover dam also had to be grouted after it was finished: http://web.mst.edu/~rogersda/hoover_dam/Grout%20Curtain%20Failure-Hoover%20Dam.pdf http://web.mst.edu/~rogersda/hoover_dam/Grout%20Curtain%20Fa... and that that lasted 12 years. Now imagine that there wasn't peace at that time but that people couldn't even get enough food and medicine, and that at the time this should have been finished some 500,000 kids died, like in Iraq: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omnskeu-puE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omnskeu-puE There was an attempt by Iraqis to somehow fix this (building the second dam) but as said, there were worse things happening. I still believe that learning about everything that happened around the dam is more illuminating than the comparison with the Hoover.
