October 28, 2011 — The White Salmon River in Washington state is flowing again as the nearly 100-year-old Condit Dam was disabled with explosives Wednesday. The reservoir draining took about 2 hours. Further demolition is scheduled in 2012. The event is a significant milestone for river restoration and dam removal nationwide.

  • Why not drain the dam slowly? to avoid the erosion downstream?? anyone involved in the project know the 'official' answer? doesn't seem to make sense to me..

    Hopefully, people will do follow up videos to show removal of dam and subsequent recovery of waterway.. (?)

  • Right after the explosions, after the water starts flowing out, it looks SO fake. Even after replaying it several times it looks fake. The only way I was able to convince myself that it was real was by watching the rest of the video where the water continues to flow out.

    Even after watching the water flow out, the beginning still looks too fake to be real between 0:24 and 0:50
