Stunning views and wonderful drone shots of this beautiful landscape in autumn colours. Nice smooth flights and well chosen perspectives. Great video, Brandon. 🤘👌

Can I please use like 10 seconds of this footage for one of my Fishing videos?

😳☹️🤷🏼‍♂️

Water, as you can see has unlimited 💪 Great video btw✅

Nice sound effects!

beautiful video fella! i watched as the dam failed, this is amazing!

Yeah, I'd say it's time for the ol' glue factory. What's that? Move along folks nothing here to see.

Nothing a little Super Glue can't fix.

That doesn't look so good. Thanks for the footage update. The lack of maintenance is what did this whole thing in.

Cool video. It all needs to be demolished

Dam.

Mother Nature dosn't like humans clogging up her veins, this has or will happen to every single dam in the entire world because money and power hungry humans fail, Mother Nature does not. Now that she has shown her intentions to engineers will they take heed or will they again go against her wishes? Need power? Move by a power plant. Need a lake? Move by one. Need a replacement clog in Mother Nature's vein? Be prepared to again pay a price that ends this same way, maybe not immediately, but, eventually.

Nothing wrong there a little dirt couldn’t fix 😂

Mother Nature takes everything back eventually.🤷‍♂️

Did they move the store or did it gets taken by the river

Nice video. Were the water sounds dubbed in during post-processing?

Get in there and fix it, Minnesota. Tell your governor to stop waltzing around the country, thinking he will be vice president. Be AmeriCans not americants.

It's like the little dam that could.

The bridge is The United States…..the debris and trees covering the support is our Government…..the river is Biden/Harris! It's just a matter of time people!!! #TRUMP2024

Dam was free flowing and clear before flooding. Debris is from drought killed trees upstream due to climate change. The dam did not overtop. It held. If it actually failed the dam store would probably still be there. The surrounding “bedrock” is limestone that is why the scour is so large and still unsafe. The bridge is being demolished. Nobody around here was crazy enough to drive heavy machinery on flooded ground to try to remove trees in an active flooding event.

Thanks for the video and update. Sad that this is old news no updates or follow ups from the mainstream.

Close the bridge ASAP! That’s unstable and unsafe. You have to fix that.

Hahaha, burgerdregs.

Are they going to remove the rest? Hope so.. that would relieve the pressure at the bend.

Great shots thanks :)

That's bridge failure looks like it was deterating before the water bypass event. Those poles are heavy rusted that takes a few years at least. So the bridge was an accident waiting to happen

So what's next? Great drone footage.

Just strap a few 4x4 s around the bridge piling it will be fine, I find it amazing to see the bridge still standing it was well built & I remember the video of the flood the failure of the concrete around the base may have stopped the water from moving the foundation enough to cause collapse

No cleanup activity at all. Hmm.

Incredible drone footage ...it truly shows the amazing and destructive power of water.

100% preventable..1st video I saw. they could have put a track hoe (easily gotten from nearby construction companies) dam to remove trees ....ask the previous maintenance persons....

The worst part is that the people that allowed this to happen won't learn a thing from it. They won't even admit climate change is the root cause. We're screwed.

Poor management led this mess,bridge is fixable For sure.

3:11 The debris field here is where the Dam Store had stood before it was demolished - even if the river didn't scour far enough to directly undercut it, the building would've still been WAY too close to the edge to make it safe to occupy!

Rip to the people that lost their house.

The amount of scouring there is impressive. Looks like the bridge is basically being condemned. Depends on how much shifting of that pylon occurred (both laterally and vertically) as a result of the excavation as to whether or not it can be repaired in place. Don't forget that the other pylon foundations were also damaged, though those are likely easily fixed. There is going to be a heck of a lot of cleanup needed and it's going to be a long and expensive rebuild project, assuming it is rebuilt at all.

There is nothing man can build that Mother Nature can't destroy.

The failure was not keeping the spillway clean of debris!

Looks like it was a good call stopping traffic on that bridge.

Very nice piloting. You got some amazing footage.

A few years back the same thing happened to the dam in Oronoco Minnesota.

Cool to see the old structures at 0:10

That bridge support is good for another 50 years. 👍 Also don't know why they felt the need to tear down the store as by the looks of it here it would have been fine. 🤔

Superb, couldn’t be better. That flight gave the dam an amazing sense of scale. Looks gorgeous even on KZbin.

Great video! Good follow-up to the event, right

All the expert comments here. Well go and fix it.

My heart breaks for the family that lost their store then home. This is not American exceptionalism. Have they determined if this was an engineering failure or was it overrun by a superior force Mother Nature?

Time to remove the remainder of the dam and free the river. Bridge will need replacing.

It's always nice to see a river flow freely again.

That is a crazy amount of scour
