The Johnstown Dam Collapse and Flood 1889 (Disaster Documentary)

The in-depth story of the deadly 1889 Johnstown Flood caused by the Johnstown Dam Collapse.

On Memorial Day of 1889, western Pennsylvania was caught by a massive storm, unprecedented in the state's history. Heavy rains brought the South Fork dam above the city of Johnstown to the brink of collapse. When the structure finally gave in, a 12-meter high (40 ft) wall of water rushed down from the mountain. To the horror of all residents, their entire town was swallowed by water in just a couple of minutes.
