Dam failure in Banqiao China in 1975
The Banqiao dam was made to survive a great flood. However, in the year 1975 a heavy rainfall occurred pouring a record-breaking rain in the 24 years. The sluice gates could not take the water pressure and 64 dams failed because of that. When the dam burst, a large wave resulted and caused ample amount of damage. It finished the area of 55 kilometers causing 231000 deaths all over.
