I think the spillway was in good shape until the water started to spill over and erode the base away. First time the spillway had ever been used.
Translation to non P.C. American English, ....The spillway was a poorly built product of lousy engineering, a true POS. It's bloody well not the first time we've seen this kinda' rodeo, either. Leaves me thinking back to the collapse of the freeway in Oakland, and wondering how much re-bar money went into the pockets of the pols, v. the actual concrete that's now failed.
