Breached dam in Stronie Śląskie (Poland). Its rupture led to a wave that largely destroyed several towns downstream along the Morawka River

1. Time to give nature some more space back

2. So the river just went around the dam, smart

3. It doesn’t look like a huge dam, or that it was holding a lot of water before it gave way, you can see the trees right on the bank of the river. Scary how much power water has.

4. no spillway caused failure in earth damn collapse. Bad design

5. And [this is one of the results](https://streamable.com/24mday) of water finding a way of going around this particular dam.

6. Dam: Stop right there!

   Water: Nope!

7. Dam(n).
