At first I thought this was an appreciation thread for Kendrick's fire new album.

Well, I'm all for dam safety. It's a dam shame that dam people are injured and killed simply for going about their dam business.

It's about dam time.

I don't think there are any dams near where I live.

From the web page:


Quote:National Dam Safety Awareness Day occurs each year on May 31 to commemorate the failure of the South Fork Dam in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on May 31, 1889.  The Johnstown disaster was the worst dam failure in the history of the United States, with over 2,200 lives lost. National Dam Safety Awareness Day was created to encourage and promote individual and community responsibility and best practices for dam safety, and what steps people can take to either prevent future catastrophic dam failures or lessen the impact if a failure was to occur. Another important goal of National Dam Safety Awareness Day is to promote the benefits that dams offer.

It's just something else that the Trump administration will ignore.

upon it's initial filling, Teton Dam failed catastrophically

You might be surprised; a lot of them are on private land:

Dam nation!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
