Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Most areas are prone to flooding now and then, and Johnstown, Pennsylvania, is no exception. But in May 1889, a dam burst following heavy rains, and the people of Johnstown were in the path of something shocking and tragic. Find out what happened when a gushing wall of water swept over the town and the people in it. Could anyone survive such a devastating disaster?
