Do you think they’d say ‘we screwed the pooch’, even if did?

They say no. They say it’s just the spill way and not the dam, but look at his picture.

I’ll admit I’m not a dam engineer, but high energy water erodes really quickly through soft-ground.

Frankly, I’d be more concerned about the top break, here’s the closeup.

What happens when that spillway is gone from the top break to the bottom of the spillway and basically carved out like a flat wall?
