Review of History's Greatest Mysteries

Johnstown has had four major floods. But why did the one on Memorial day 1889 claim about three thousand live. I have to start out saying that I lost five members of my family in this one, and non in the other three! Why? Because Andrew Canegee and his chums built the domn upriver from Johnstown 30 feet higher then the original lake while spending ZERO DOLLARS on cleaning out the spillway! Why is that important? If you clean the spillways out the water level in the lake will ease down to a reasonable level. But if not it grows as high as the dam is built too. Thus when his Hunting & Fishing club's lake broke that day the water level starting down the river was 95 foot high, as it passed thru the town where Charles Browson was born, and when it reached Johnstown is was still 45 foot high. Only two buildings, both made out of stone and mortal survived but all the rest of the buildings were crushed and driven down to the stone bridge where the gas lines ruptured thus killing more people fron burning to death that those which drowned. But Carnegee bought off procecution by funding an Art Gallery and a college in Pittsburgh! But I think everyone should know this story to prevent people from getting away with MURDER! Wm Freeburn.
