I lived in Quincy when this happened. Almost happened on live TV, they have
TV footage of him waling away from the breach he caused.

I heard a reporter saying that the water going over that spillway was

visualizing that amount of water. Could also have been a mis-quote by
the reporter...
In 2011 when the Army Corps of Engineers mismanaged the six main stem
dams on the Missouri River, causing them all to exceed their capacity
when the upper-Mo River basin got above-average precipitation in May of
that year, they were releasing over 180,000 cubic feet of water per
second at the Gavins Point dam in South Dakota. There were a lot of
pissed-off people over that. Many people lost their homes. I had to
drive damn near 100 miles out of my way for three months to get to and
from work... but at least I didn't lose my home.
