Maybe the Hoover Dam is a super structure, but I seem to remember years back...hearing that one of the dams upstream from the Hoover Dam was a sieve.
Now, if the dam upstream were to be hit, and it's holdings let loose, couldn't all that water at least weaken the Hoover?
All this protection around and on the Hoover Dam... I sure hope the people making the big money think outside the box.
