"Some freak event, whatever it was, caused the dam to fail at some point," Gupta said, although he noted that the breach may have resulted from simply too much water built up behind the dam.

Clearly some French guy dug a little trench with his wooden shoe to aggravate the British guy...

Inattentive to building materials, nature contained the monstrous, ice-locked lake with chalky stone.

This is a setup - to make this Bush's fault....

Megaflood Created Great Divide Between Britain and France

Floods usually get a bad rap, but this is an exception.
