Minnesota dam partially fails after extreme flooding

Extreme flooding caused a more-than-100-year-old dam to partially fail this week in Minnesota, and officials say the structure is in "imminent failure condition." CBS News' Tom Hanson is at the dam with the latest.

Partial failure? Sure ... I guess now that the river just decided to go around, the dam is working just fine.

[@ryanjohnson3615]

The dam didn't fail, the land around it did.

[@twrourke6557]

I live not far from this dam and the store has the best pies you'd ever eat. Shame it might all fall. Nice family also. Zeppelin said it best, " when the levee breaks you got no place to stay."

infrastructure is greatly needed in this country

All the money goes to the military industrial complex and endless wars 🤔

[@MrHondablink]

The dam didn't fail. The ground around it did sorry to say. The gates should have been completely removed since the dam was inoperable since 2019.

[@roadracer517]

Was that a cemetery falling into the river too at the end of the video?

[@Flippy_808]

Dam it…

[@richardsteiner8992]

Local authorities do not think the dam structure itself is at risk of failing. Where do you get this stuff, CBS? I'm watching local news here in the Twin Cities. Yes, the water is running around the dam, which is Very Bad, but... Hype, hype!

[@RonDoiron-pz3ee]

Poor maintenance. All that debris should have been cleared, as soon as it started to jam up. That still should be done.

[@sjr100]

No one would vote for a politician whose agenda is to fix the infrastructures in their state. No one wants to spend tax dollars on fixing bridges, dams, freeways, we all just take them for granted, until they fall apart and then people complain that no one did anything to save them.

[@geoffreykeating8172]

I don't have a fancy engineering degree but looks like a total fail to me 😮

[@28704joe]

I don't either but the dam is still there. The soil around it looks like its gone.

[@linn3806]

Would dropping and stacking large boulders along the water edge possibly slow the erosion? Something is better than nothing being done.

[@ryanjohnson3615]

no doubt. I bet there was a pile of precast chunks of anything nearby that could have done a lot. Jersey barriers, bridge sections, septic tanks. etc.

[@suzypos4571]

All the dams are 50 to 100 years old. My husband had a dam business and after looking at one in Michigan..that one he looked at did fail and 3 others broke..taking many towns down. It is sad.

Does CBS not know how a dam works? Smh.

It looks like she owns now part of the river

[@sillywabbit7989]

The dam didn't fail. Always gotta fit a narrative 🙄 smdh

[@robertnosbisch5906]

Who ever owns the dam should be sued for negligence!

[@28704joe]

They should sue the people who own the land butting up to the dam since that is what gave way. Sue them, the dam is still there.

Fun fact: "Abundance of Caution" can also be stated as "Over Reaction" or "Unnecessarily wasting everybody's time and resources"

[@garyspence2128]

Or it can be interpreted as "We'd rather not get sued if one of these morbid tourists falls into the maelstrom!

Humbly and kindly, but in a solemn manner, I know You’d do more for climate change returning back to the Lord God Almighty , attending Church on Sunday than anything else. Sunday is a Holy Day and first day of the week, , not a holiday to celebrate and party . That’s backwards. Even Mother Earth is screaming for a day off, God didn’t design it to go full speed , 24/7 all week/year long. Best wishes.

Why are so many people saying that they should sue the dam owners. Considering that the dam is still standing despite losing the embankment it was attached to is rather impressive. The ground was extremely saturated that is why it gave away. If the strengthen the embankment it probably would have eroded around that to.

This is what happens when your federal government spends 6 to 8 trillion on war and rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan instead of spending that money here. They are hard at work sending hundreds of billions to Ukraine over the last two plus years as well. And then there is the tax dollars that go to 20 plus other countries along with the pensions, welfare state and military industrial complex...
