Hi, we're California. We don't have close to enough water. But when we get some, hoo boy, we can't hold on to it.

Is this gonna be one of those things where once the water starts flowing down outside the main spillway it will just dig away at the earth, causing more water to flow causing more erosion until there's an extremely severe flood?

This is the closest, but isn't actually just a livestream of the dam. They are using some pre-recorded footage.

As a human being, I feel for the people suffering from this failure of bureaucracy and investment in infrastructure

As a civil engineer, I enjoy watching poo poo getting wrecked on a grand scale.

Right now it's going over the emergency spillway, which is located further down the reservoir than the actual dam.

The emergency spillway is what is going to fail, doesn't look like the actual dam is at risk yet

I'm sure the 1 or 2 dam inspectors are overworked, also

Currently, there are about 4,400 "unsafe" dams in the U.S. There are unsafe dams in almost every state. (A majority of states and federal agencies define an "unsafe" dam as one that has been found to have hydraulic or structural deficiencies that leave it more susceptible to failure.)
