A Brief History of: the Vajont Dam Disaster (Short Documentary)
Channel: Plainly Difficult
Date: 2020-10-22

We are back with an extra video this month, and today it's another Dam Disaster.

The Disaster at the world record holding Vajont Dam, could have been avoided, however improper surveys and lack of proactive action led to a disastrous over topping. 

The disaster would destroy the small town of Longarone, and show how the right dam can be in the wrong place.
