Scientists Drained Niagara Falls in 1969 And Made an Amazing Discovery

- In the summer and fall of 1969, the American side of Niagara Falls stayed without water for 6 months. Researchers drained the falls to study the rock face. They were afraid it was going to become too unstable because of erosion. It took a 600 feet dam across the enormous Niagara River to really shut down these astonishing falls. This means they had to divert 60,000 gallons of water every second so that the remaining flow traveled over the biggest Horseshoe Falls.

I've been there as a tourist, and both side are beautiful, but Canada has the best view and its free
Im in Niagara Falls right now hanging out at my Hotel .... Will check out the Falls in an hour or so and go down to the Niagara Brewery for Happy Hour!! Love visiting here ... And super cheap Hotels on weekdays!!
Really? My parents always found it expensive
Think of the bodies that disappeared in those waters
Niagara falls looks very beautiful. 🌊
Same
Wow, nicely covered every possible point
wow! ive been to niagara falls many times its so beautiful, i didn't know the other history about when they blocked it from flowing and when it didn't flow that other time so interesting!
Born and raised in Niagara falls NY, it's always home to me😅
what this channel should do now is make a video on the dark side of Niagara Falls, I'm from Niagara Falls I am very curious to see if they get it right if they do
Niagara falls is lovely, One should visit this beauty atleast once in their lifetime
Incredibly beautiful Niagara Falls🌊☄️💦
MOST AWESOME!!!
My husband and I visited Niagara falls in the 80's.
It was a wonderful thing to see.
We went on the boat the MAID IF THE MIST.
WE WERE PRIVUDED EIRH RAINCOATS BEVAUDE WE WENT VERY CLISE TO UNDER THE FALLS.
WE GOT DISKED FROM TJE WATER DORAY.
I WAS VERY SCARED AS THE BOAT CONTINUED TO GET CLOSER ABD CLOSER
TO THE WATER FALLS.
MY HUSBAND MANAGED TO CALM ME DOWN, BY PUTTING HIS ARMS AROUND ME AND HOLDING ME.
IT WAS SOMETHING I ALWAYS REMEMBERED..
Same thing happened to me and my wife had to calm me
“Disked from the water foray”? I don’t understand
Should compare it with Iguacu waterfalls...
Amazing video
I really like all of this
What!! I'm from Nigeria
I love you bright side🎉🎉🎉
It looks so weird when the falls are contained...spooky
People will be magnet fishing there, soon enough.
We all love❤ the (niagara falls)🏞
Horseshoe falls is the beauty come to see
Viagara Falls
best info channel🙃
Beautiful Nygra Fall
🎉🎉
Wow 🔥. 1.
I,ve bin watching bright side for 24 hours hand up if you where watching bright side for 24hours🖐
They found mid tier loot
Bro why did you comment that I just clicked the video and I saw this comment you ruined it😭😭
...Scientists... You mean Engineers.
The majestic Kaieteur Falls in Guyana SA. Give us our credit..
Imagine how many wedding rings have been tossed over the railing since gambling came to honeymoon capital of the world . Did gambling help NIAGARA OR HURT.
I was there for March break
I must have missed the "Amazing Discovery"
DO the jet boat tour! Thats all ill say. Lol
Not 1969
If you where trapped in a car forever and you only had canned food and water what would you do?🤔
Man said turtles and the editor shows a tortoise 🐢
"All tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises"
Бывает
woahhhh😂
My grandfather was one of engineers throwing the switches to turn it off.
Wow! Fascinating stuff. 👏🏼 And maybe I'm chicken, but *no way* would I walk the dry fall bed just cuz they piled a bunch of rocks. I mean, that just screams "Oh, sh**!!!" human-error moment. I'd have to see Moses there first. 😏 IJS
Canada got the beautiful part of the falls
Interesting fact; in 100,000 yrs...the falls will be by the pace bridge.(erosion)
Yea ., probably a whole town down their with affordable living!! 😏😉💀😝
I live in Niagara Falls city Canada❤❤ it’s beautiful but overrated
If Nikola was given more time. We have free electricity for sure
What a tedious way to present such a wonderful story about one of the falls on the Niagara River. Why do some members of the USA media have to add annoying music and over state and repeat the story you're telling? It's like you're speaking to everyone as if they're kindergarteners.
Agree! Not only did it speak as if viewers are kindergartners, but also was full of factual errors and use of stock video from places that had nothing to do with Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls are a sedimentary bed laid down during the flood. NOAHS flood.
Was that a video of someone in 1969 reading an iPad?
Yea, its called CAVE OF THE WINDS...U CAN WALK BEHIND THE FALLS
NEXT!
🛀🏾
What was the amaizng discovery? This video title is very misleading and the content was not well presented.
Erosion- ex). the sphinx in Egypt.
In 1969, the American side of Niagara Falls was drained for several months to study the rock face and conduct research. This was achieved by diverting the water flow using a 600-foot dam across the Niagara River
The purpose was to better understand the science of the falls, and the researchers found millions of coins that people had thrown into the water over the years
There were also reports of human remains being found, but the details and veracity of these claims are unclear
This event allowed researchers to explore the dried bottom of the falls, revealing a landscape that is usually underwater
The draining of Niagara Falls in 1969 was a significant scientific endeavor that provided valuable insights into this natural wonder.
What?
Is this real?

America is where I was born
What was the amazing discovery?
My baby shoe ?
No
No … meaning don’t do it. Shutting down the falls. I’ve seen it. Leave her alone..
But what was the amazing discovery???

American side is depressing. 🇨🇦
Your side is depressing. 🇺🇸
Yes, it's a lot different and dirtier than the Canadian side
As an American I agree.

I get nervous driving around the New York side.
