Description
Data from Pacific NW Rivers Study, Stan Allen, Idaho Coordinator
The Teton Dam is a famous study of poor civil engineering feeding pork-barrel politics. As the project was reaching completion and the reservoir was being filled, a large leak formed...and, on June 5, 1976, the developing project came to an abrupt, and tragic, end. Two bulldozers were used in trying to stem the developing leak; they both were swallowed by the flood. Fourteen people downstream lost their lives. The project is described in Marc Reisner's excellent book, _Cadillac Desert_.
