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.

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

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."

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

@ryanjohnson3615 4 күн бұрын

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.

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...

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.
