The Johnstown Flood wasn’t a natural disaster. It was a preventable man-made catastrophe — and a warning about what happens when the legal system bends toward the powerful.

On May 31, 1889, the South Fork Dam failed, flooding Johnstown, PA at 40 mph, killing 2,209+ in one of U.S. history's deadliest disasters. #JohnstownFlood
Read more about it on https://drhistoryx.com/history/1889/united-states/2025/05/31/The-Deluge-of-Destruction-Johnstown-Flood-of-1889.html
A gloomy, rain-soaked Johnstown under dark clouds. Residents are seen going about their daily activities, oblivious to the danger. In the background, the South Fork Dam looms ominously, with visible signs of wear and neglect. The atmosphere is tense, with the first signs of the impending disaster subtly hinted at.

About halfway through this gripping history. I’ve visited the NPS memorial at the ruins of the South Fork Dam twice and will visit again in the spring. This book is great context to a disaster beyond comprehension in its abruptness and scale. #johnstownflood #nps #supportnps
