White Salmon River, Condit Dam Breach and Reservoir Draining in 6 Minutes

[Woody615]

Would have liked to have seen all of this looking up stream instead of a montage of multiple camera angles.

Wonder if the planners knew that massive amount of sediment would wash out like that.

Whatever, that machine is at the top of the screen is putting out a tremendous amount of polution. Should have blown that thing up instead.

@lakewood85 You mean the RC Helicopter?

[OzzyTripping]

@lakewood85 the average hybrid makes more pollution then a chainsaw mate. its only visible smoke giving the impression its worse

Just more enviro-nazi crap!! No more hydro power and no more storeage of water. They wont be happy till people start dying. Wouldnt it be easier just to tell people stop eatting fish!!

@russ25052 Unless you are very familiar with the area and the dam, STFU. The BPA provides the majority of power for the region, and Pacific Power couldn't keep a 100-year-old dam operationally solvent. And nobody drinks out of that area of the White Salmon on purpose.

Was that an RC helicopter near the sign over the reservoir? Wondered what that sound was. :)

@zandanse Those are some big mosquitos!

[AnotherNutJob]

@zandanse Thats a real helicopter.

[daowist]

Is that a raft with people upstream of the dam?

[edesir]

Ahh back to nature. :)

[wishbeter]
