@Leo you do know these dams were deemed unsafe during a republican’s watch? Whitmer asked for feds to help her when she became governor last year! Get your facts straight!
@@leoortkras1102 - Sure, blame the democrat who has been in office for a year, not the republican who had 8 years to deal with the issue. BTW, these dams were privately built and owned, but we can't blame the compnay that owned them either, right?
5 years ago we had a 78 year old bridge replaced and about to have an 85 year old one done. Funny enough the new one gets stuck more frequently and takes much longer than expected to open and close than the old one ever did.
This is what happens when the owners become complacent, shame on these organizations...I feel for the general public, it will be years before they get back to normal.
Dams are not built to control water flow, but manage water flow. This entire mess is a failure of several people to do their jobs ... criminal negligence. All those people that lost so much and the insult to nature ... what a loss. I admire many of those that lost so much and are suffering that they are not in a "tar and feather" mode.

Now the property owners will be sued. They can kiss their Lakefront Mansions goodbye and be grateful if they'll be able to afford a single-wide rusty trailer when the lawsuit is over.
@@hydrolito you're right, we need to stay home and feel all nice and safe and protected. Maybe someone will leave a bag of food on your door step sometimes.
@@hydrolito no different than what happens during flu season and its been happening for decades. No body wants people to get sick or die but its a fact of life. the only difference now is that we have a disobedient president who they cant control. You're witnessing the playing of the final cards its all they have left. prepare yourself it will get worse.
More of this will continue to happen since we've never bothered to upgrade our infrastructure. We have some ofthemost dastardly politicians on this planet
It’s almost 2021 how do we still have flooding like this and no one do anything . So politicians can line thier pockets with tax funds in the name of clean up
THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN MOTHER NATURE IS ANGRY..... PEOPLE TRY TO LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY..... DO NOT KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.... DO NOT USE WEAPONS, MISSILES, BOMBS, CHEMICALS AGAINST INNOCENT PEOPLE.. LET EVERYONE TO LIVE..... GOD BLESS TO YOU ALL....
It's a man-made disaster. Eventually dams fail. Solution: don't build up against a river, it will eventually overflow. 100+ yrs ago, it was a necessity for local industry to use waterways for majority of transports. Now we use waterways for turbines, creating lakes for R and R.
The Repub in office before her did what to fix this in 8 years? Oh yeah, nothing. Also, these dams are privately owned. Any blame for the actual owners, who received multiple fines for neglecting their upkeep? No? Ok.
@@wickednwyld , the dam was in trouble for quite a while. Research it. Democratic governor Jennifer Granholm was in office from 2003 until 2011. She had eight years to start addressing this problem.
Why where monies diverted to build a wall instead of being put where it could have really been used? Will trump give aid to Michigan or will his ego get in the way? Let’s see how he treats Michiganders.
Rampant influx into the country unchecked is not acceptable for s number of valid reasons. You suggest barriers of the dam be protected, but not of the countries assets.
Prayers and thoughts! These Republican voters got what they voted for and what they deserved. Hope they don't expect tax-payers to bail them out; I hope those boot-straps are long enough to reach through the floodwaters.
Governor had spent more money on roads the dams you know Petty things like that instead of pocketing the money this might not have happened 500 years and then this happens on Whitmers watch tells you all you need to know RECALL 😠
These are privately owned dams that were supposed to be fixed long before Whitmer was elected. Maybe ask Rick Snyder why that didn't happen, since he had 8 years to address the issue.
The love of money diverted from making these dams safe.
Yep
Ummm $1,000 leaves D.C., maybe $300 makes it to the dam. Way worse down by New Orleans. Estimates there was in the $90 range.
Both of those dams were deemed unsafe two years ago. Two years!
Keep voting for them Democrats
@Leo you do know these dams were deemed unsafe during a republican’s watch? Whitmer asked for feds to help her when she became governor last year! Get your facts straight!
Dams were built to minimum standards.They had 95 years to reinforce by simply dumping fill dirt.

@@wickednwyld , *four words: Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm*
I hope those lake front home owners that didn't want the lake level lowered to save the dam are happy.
Lots of dams and bridges in the US infrastructure which are a hundred years old.
5 years ago we had a 78 year old bridge replaced and about to have an 85 year old one done. Funny enough the new one gets stuck more frequently and takes much longer than expected to open and close than the old one ever did.
No. You're wrong. All It's ok. Anti- american !
Once in 500 years come on Midland got hit like that in 1986
It's saddening to see how news channels are losing all integrity.
This is what happens when the owners become complacent, shame on these organizations...I feel for the general public, it will be years before they get back to normal.
Leon, you have a great announcer voice!
This happened in Marquette 15 years ago on a lesser scale. Devastating. Prayers to Midland.

Best time to relax in your summer home!
If the dams were not there 500 yrs ago ,Why would it flood ?
Leon is a trip, ya'll. 🤣 best on location report ever!!
those poor people down river, from where residents on wixom lake sued a couple years ago to keep the levels high
Got to protect the mussels too ¡

This is an actual problem unlike covid-19
Fax
They are estimating more than 91,000 U.S. Americans died from Covid-19 many times that number have gotten severally sick from it.

First last, true that! But there's no media coverage of This Disaster because it doesn't play into the agenda to scare the living sh!t out of viewers.
If no dams were ever built in the first place there would be no flooding
Our prayers are with you all.
Don't you HATE reporters that LIE like the water is over the treetops
Pray for them.god help them.
With all that raining that went on, it was only a matter of time before the dam collapsed.
What are we doing with our taxes?
The same thing NYC does with all the money they collect every day from the bridges and Lincoln tunnel tolls.
More of this will continue to happen since we've never bothered to upgrade our infrastructure. We have some ofthemost dastardly politicians on this planet
Devastating

Nobody is at fault here. Nothing to see here
Witless Whitmer was informed of failing dams, does nothing, blames global warming (which is joke especially in Michigan), begs trump for a bailout.
The Repub in office before her did what to fix this in 8 years? Oh yeah, nothing. Also, these dams are privately owned. Any blame for the actual owners, who received multiple fines for neglecting their upkeep? No? Ok.

Certaintly unstable and instability
Even in first world countries? People are people, it didn't matter whether its first,second, third etc, all the same. Same things happen
Well, that's one way too get them to social distance. Blow the dam.
Only a handful of buildings in the downtown area are flooded oh, most of it was vacant city park land
Should have unplugged the sewers
On the contrary, they're probably filled with silt.
This has to have filled the sanitary and/or storm drain systems with silt.
AWFUL!!! You poor people of Michigan...double whammy...hang in there!!!
Pipelines get billions. trucks have been delivering to homes and transportation forever.

It's just Michigan
And were is the president trump???
Hes busy being disrespected by you and your Governor.
Where’s ur governor?
sue the fake weather projecters they use euro weather maps were in the USA echo boxes. china trolls.

Sabotage
Prayers and thoughts! These Republican voters got what they voted for and what they deserved. Hope they don't expect tax-payers to bail them out; I hope those boot-straps are long enough to reach through the floodwaters.

No one is practicing social distancing... here
I NEED SOME DAM BAIT

God said in the Bible before and he’s saying it now Repent from your wicked ways and Let my people go worship!!! Read your Bible!!!
May Mother Nature wash away Governor Whitmer's EVIL HEART!!!
Why would you wish that?...just coureous.
