Description: The 1928 failure of the St Francis dam in southern California was one of Americas worst engineering disasters. Human error, largely centered around misinterpreted geology, was a principal cause of the disaster, which claimed 450 lives. Would we make the same mistakes again? This video shows what was missed and how modern technology makes the same mistake much less likely.
