Amazing, but more of a designed failure! Great to see proper planning pay off.

I miss videos like this. To the point, informative, clear, none of this fancy production crap that detracts from the message.

Wow 1st time gilded! Thanks!

Nothing about this video is catastrophic failure. The cofferdam performed as designed. Why does the flair say Engineering Failure when it's the exact opposite?

So the dam was never built.
