Perhaps the most astonishing thing in
connection with the awful tragedy which
followed the breaking of the Conemaugh
lake dam is the fact that nearly all adult
persons in Johnstown knew, and had known
for long time, that their lives were III
deadly peril How they could lie down tc
sleep at night, knowing that only an inse
cure dam held back that enormous body OF
water located three hundred feet above
their homes and workshops, is more than
one can imagine. Engineers had told then
that it was unwise and even unsafe to en-.
large any masonry dam that had not been
built with that thing in view, and they
knew that this dam had been enlarged Sc
that it was holding back four times the wa.
ter originally intended for it, but in spite
of all this they had become so used to tn,
danger that they laughed at the warning,
sent when the fatal hour came
