You forgot that one time the President, a gambler, and a Roman all fought for the Dam with the help of a mailman

Was lucky enough to visit the Hoover Dam in 2006, when you could drive over it, on approach it doesn't look that big, when on it, it's so impressive, fantastic piece of engineering.

I was fortunate enough to see it March 2022 as a stop on our tour from Vegas to Grand Canyon and it truly is amazing in person.

I am from Kerela, A small state in India
We have a Dam here called Mullaperiyar dam
The engineer who designed that dam declared that its expiry will be after "50 "years, still now that Dam is alive and its age is "126 "year

The people living in kerala are in trouble the authorities not giving their focus in this issue

If that dam collapse more than 40 lakh people will die😭😭😭
Give us some foriegn support everyone please... 🙏🙏🙏

Now I think that tube might be down in some of our plumbing

[malibustacy]

Those 4 circular apartment buildings @ 2:43 that housed the original dam construction workers turned out to be an excellent idea as water intake towers, and they took almost no time to convert.

[TonyFarley-pvnk]

So on one of the storm people they were showing the hurricane in a black tube come out. But also on one of the pictures or videos carving out a rotation hole somewhere on the other side do you think they got some of these plays alternated to to where it's going to cause us to have a misalignment

[sarathkrishnan]

[chriszablocki]

They named it after Herbert Hoover? As in hooverville, Herbert Hoover?

For the LOVE of Human Rights, thanks so much for not Glorifying the Engineering disaster waiting to happen. Damn...we love the Hoover Dam! We love the engineering of the document known as the United States of America's Constitution!
