Mulholland and Van Norman arrived at 10:30 AM the morning of March 12, 1928, and stayed for a few hours. Van went down to the base of the thrust block near the dam's groin and used a clear water tumbler, a drinking glass, to sample the leaking water, which he declared to be "clear."<br /><br />I've been studying this story intensively for over 30 years, and have been to the dam site many times. The references you cite are poorly researched and not well-fleshed-out. The best material on the subject to date has been published by Dr. J. David Rogers, one of the world's leading experts on the disaster. Charles Outland published the remarkable volume MAN-MADE DISASTER years ago, and it's research is impeccable. <br />I've also published some work on the story, Google A TEST OF INTEGRITY by Pony Horton.Pony Hortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686104715311803654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314190564205081026.post-12175680289133363192013-11-24T13:00:56.888-08:002013-11-24T13:00:56.888-08:00The leaks Tony Harnischfeger saw were actually on ...The leaks Tony Harnischfeger saw were actually on the west abutment, right below the wing dike, near the thrust block.<br /><br />Been doing intensive study on the St. Francis Dam for 30 years, and I go out to the site a lot.Pony Hortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686104715311803654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314190564205081026.post-59812475289447413662013-04-10T05:14:27.862-07:002013-04-10T05:14:27.862-07:00Wonderful information.
