@amazeifystore: The dam didn’t fail. The mountain did. 🌊 On October 9, 1963, a massive landslide plunged into the reservoir behind Italy’s Vajont Dam, sending water over the crest and down the valley. Longarone was devastated, and about 1,900 people died. The lesson: a strong dam can’t make an unstable slope safe. What should engineers learn from Vajont? #Vajont #EngineeringDisasters #DamSafety #CivilEngineering #Landslide #EngineeringLessons #History
