Too bad this dam is not upriver of Raqqa, Syria. The ISIS lunatics getting wiped out in a flood would be truly biblical.

If they seriously think 1m lives are at danger, why don’t they begin evacuations?

Obama’s Mid-East legacy?Seriously? They’ll blame Bush for this one just like they’ve done with every other Iraq related topic.

One of the Iraqi engineers, now living in Europe...
You guys in flood’s path - follow that engineer to safety.

And then there’s the Aswan dam in Egypt holding back a hundred mile long lake.

Earthquake while at or near maximum water level would be most likely cause of failure: And they have have earthquakes across that region ever since the walls of Jericho fell down. 8<)

ISIS exit present—blow the dam?
To: Robert A. Cook, PE
Sluice gates stuck. Similar to South Fork dam in Johnstown, they couldn’t relieve pressure leading to collapse.
To: Jan_Sobieski
Isn’t this the dam project that dried up the Tigris River that all the environmentalist were concerned with?.
I say let it fail and restore the natural wonder of the river valley

The Iraqis built a dam on a drywall (gypsum) foundation. Has to be one of the biggest engineering blunders in history.
