I see your point about the union issue in Johnstown. I was doing some research a while back, and I wonder how much holdover there is from the Johnstown Flood that killed so many so horribly. A private club/big money owned lake was the cause. It was poorly maintained and the high dam failed after a heavy rain. I think the death toll was over 2,000. Many people were still alive in a great tangle of debris and broken trees and houses when oil or gas went on fire and burned many to death.
