À propos de cet audio

In 1928, California's St. Francis Dam—once a symbol of engineering prowess—catastrophically collapsed, unleashing a deadly flood that devastated communities and claimed hundreds of lives. Driven by Los Angeles' urgent water needs, the dam was hastily built atop unstable ground. Investigations later blamed flawed design and a weak foundation, forever changing dam safety standards and tarnishing chief engineer William Mulholland’s legacy.
