Oroville Dam Failing Live News Footage

[TCIB]

I have watched this the last few days and now there is an evacuation order for a few hundred thousand people. The overflow release slip way things have failed and eroding the land back towards the dam. It looks pretty bad and could well have a catastrophic structural failure. The other day they were getting rid of 50k cubic meters per second, problem is 100k was pouring in a second.

Had to read that thread title a couple of times. I thought it was something to do with that bloody yellow duck.

Been keeping an eye on this, California is going to be a disaster this spring, huge snowfalls and now everything melting really fast. Be some fun kayaking when it lets loose

The bloody duck will be fine, not sure about the pensioner with his fist up its arse though when the dam goes.

Not many people at all are thinking this will end well from the tone of every bugger they have spoken to. The best i have heard is 'we can hope it is ok'. You got any better recommendations for news sources, i can bypass geo location stuff so if it only allows local viewers thats fine, link me please and i'll put a feed up here.

Also is it as bad as is being made out, i mean it's hard to judge, just seems very full but you know, no cracks etc etc, have you heard more details your way?
