About this reel
The reel opens with a vivid description of the towering wave racing down the valley towards Johnstown. The narration then shifts back to May 31st, 1889, describing the deteriorating state of an old earthen dam above the town. As rain continues unabated, the dam fails spectacularly at 3:10 PM, releasing a massive flood that engulfs everything in its path. The mood is tense and ominous as the script unfolds the destruction and loss of life. This video would resonate with history enthusiasts and those interested in natural disasters and human negligence.
