Ruins of a Dam Failure
I explore the ruins of the Austin Dam failure in Austin, Pennsylvania.
We'll talk about the day of the disaster that swept down the valley and destroyed the town. We'll peek at the Bayless Pulp and Paper Mill, which was in the path of the water.

Dam failures have to be the most dramatic disaster there is, but few people recognize it. This video went beyond entertaining, to impactful. Fantastic storytelling and videography. There's another very nice KZread account of the recent Edenville Dam failure on the Tittabawassee River, just a bit northeast of you. Skip ahead to 1:15 to 6:30 if woodworking isn't your thing. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kad2tq2Gfsefado.html&ab_channel=StumpyNubs
The amount of energy that is stored in something so simple as water is incredible.
This video makes me think about our overall aging infrastructure. The bridges I kayak under sometimes look pretty sketchy. 😬 I’m glad I’m seeing more bridges mended and replaced.
Should be way more likes and subs!!! Come on people, this gentleman ROCKS!!!👍👍

What great music to accompany the video.
Very interesting , thanks 👍
Thank you for showing the pictures and the title of the book I would like to get a copy to read I just saw a story on the Austin Dam Break on Mysteries of the Abandoned on the Discovery channel and I came to You tube to see other stories about it and your's is the first one I saw
This was very interesting throughout! I was fascinated by the white tile in the mill

Yeah, me too. It seems that was installed to help the pulp move through the process.
Great historical video! I wonder how long it took them to clean up the mess and how many men. I'm thinking not that much machinery in 1911. I thought you added the siren to the video, LOL
you got some pair on you. I'd never go into those places
And the papers want to know who's shirts you wear, er, I mean the dogs want to know who's shoes you wear?
Don't get smacked in the face by that brush... ;-)
