31 May 1889 - 20 MILLION TONS OF WATER WIPES OUT JOHNSTOWN,
PENNSYLVANIA: A deluge of rainfall and a deteriorating dam lead to one
of America's worst disasters when the South Fork Dam breaks apart above
Johnstown, Pennsylvania, releasing a torrent of destruction. A
60-foot-high wall of water and debris half a mile wide roars 14 miles
downriver, killing 2,209.
