I like how they discuss the problem, while repeating the dam is in no danger, while if the achilles heel fails, the dam will be left standing holding back a wall of air.
Wrong...if the spillways had experienced total failure, most of the water behind the dam would still be there...
Even if 'most' was left behind the dam, the predicted top 30' would be a huge disaster.
And once they lose basic integrity the whole thing would likely wash out.
Of course. It would make the main spillway hole look like a divot. But, I was just responding to the singular statement as if most of the water left means no consequence of 'loosing' the top.
