Destruction due to flooding from Saint Francis Dam failure at San Francisquito (Calif.), 1928

The St. Francis Dam was a 200-foot high concrete gravity-arch dam built between 1924 and 1926 in St. Francisquito Canyon (near present-day Castaic and Santa Clarita). The dam collapsed on March 12, 1928 at two and a half minutes before midnight.

It is considered the worst American civil engineering failure in the 20th century.
