The day Niagara Falls ran dry - BOJ

The day Niagara Falls ran dry:

Article-1338793-0C7DBAC7000005DC-832_634x410

"Newly discovered photos show the moment the iconic waterfall came to a standstill."

From the Mail Online : "On June 12, 1969, U.S. engineers diverted the flow of the Niagara River away from the American side of the falls."

Article-1338793-0C7DBA2F000005DC-380_634x417

"Two rockslides from the plate of the falls, in 1931 and 1954,

Article-1338793-0C7DBBF3000005DC-72_634x413

had caused a large amount of rock to collect at the base."

Article-1338793-0C7DBA42000005DC-448_634x407

"The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers studied the riverbed and mechanically bolted and strengthened a number of faults to delay the gradual erosion of the American Falls."

Article-1338793-0C7DBBFF000005DC-973_634x436

"In order to stop the Niagara River running over the American Falls, engineers constructed a dam consisting of 27,800 tons of rock, stopping the water for the first time in 12,000 years."

Article-1338793-0C7DB7DE000005DC-707_634x417

"The temporary dam can be seen in the top right of the photograph above."

Article-1338793-0C7E4026000005DC-82_634x433

"A completely dry Niagara Falls has never been seen before or since the six months in 1969 when U.S. engineers set about restructuring the American side of the twin landmark."

"The photos above only recently came to light when Russ Glasson found them in a shoebox in his in-laws Connecticut garage."

 

The team of engineers "blew up their temporary dam on November, 25, 1969 and six million cubic feet of water once again thundered over the falls every minute."

3outube —

Fghjkl

.....................................................

Wrote joehead Graeme in a comment on last week's SaveYouTube.com post, "... just use 3outube.com. Navigate to the video you want and replace the "y" in "youtube" with "3" and away you go!"

Free, the way we like it.

My crack research team was able to successfully follow the three steps above.

That's the good news.

The bad news: "Done" is not quite done.

What do you mean, joe?

When I tried to play the video so teasingly displayed on my desktop (below),

I got the following message:

Oh, well.

Fortunately for you, TechnoDolt™-level capability cannot be contracted by viewing a computer screen whose contents were created by by someone of that ilk.

As far as we know.

Fair warning.
