Dammbruch
The Morbi dam failure was listed as the worst dam burst in the "Guinness Book of Records" (before the death toll of the 1975 Banquiao Dam failure was declassified in 2005). The book "No One Had A Tongue To Speak" by Tom Wooten and Utpal Sandesara debunks the official claims that the dam failure was an act of God and points to structural and communication failures that led to and exacerbated the disaster. There was great economic loss. The flood damaged the farmland, leading to a decrease in productivity of crops.
