Why the St. Francis Dam Collapsed (1928) [pdf]
- bell-cot 1y agoAlso: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Francis_Dam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Francis_Dam I noticed this: > St. Francis Dam was completed in May, 1926. [...] The dam cost [...] 1,300,000 dollars. These days, in many parts of the U.S., $1.3M wouldn't build you a decent upper-ish class house. 100 years from now - will $1.3M even buy you a scoop of ice cream?
