"what would happen if the hoover dam broke?"?

This scenario was breached in a recent book, "Assured Response", I forgot who the author was. It was pretty devastating.... actually they blew up four dams on the Colorado in sequence, causing a 200 ft high flash flood through the Grand Canyon.

Shocked and appalled.\n\n\nYou scared me..eek. That would suck if that happened.\nHopefully Bush will still be president if that happens, he'll handle it.

Realistically, humanity will be dead. Sad, but true.\n\nSooner or later a couple of madmen with nukes will bomb everything, and everyone that moves.

What would happen?  The civil war and mass killings would happen sooner instead of later, and the US and Iraqis being killed daily would not be.\n\nYou don't go into a country until you're invited, and the US wasn't.  Even *with* Saddam in charge, the Iraqis never wanted the US to invade.  \n\nIt's the same story in Iran: the democratic forces don't want the US to invade, they want the US to fluck off and stop harassing their country.  (It WAS the US, after all that overthrew the Iranian DEMOCRACY in 1953 to impose the Shah....)\n\n\n.

You could try the website of the state it would have happened in or the government site. But it would probably be restricted.

it would in all likelyhood be very very bad, i see very scary people on pale horses, the end of peace as we now know it, and a shift in the global power structure.\nits questions such as this that could bring down the house that man built. Such a cruel question indeed,that never the less deserves an answer that only the strongest of us can answer. very awsome ?  regards JuJu

you ask a very interesting question I have wondered about too.  It could go 1 of 2 ways I think.\n\nThe first way could be that people knew they only had to depend on themselves and become much better at conservation, saving money for rainy days, and teaching the value of the dollar to their kids.\n\nThe other way would be the very poor who lost everything would be very jealous and angry at the rich, it could start wars, much more crime and things could get ugly.\n\nWhat I think would happen is both ways.  I think the conservative, value conscious people would save and work hard and hope for the best in a disaster, and some would steal and hurt others in order to steal what they needed.

I suspect you're referring to the "China syndrome," where a nuclear meltdown could supposedly bore all the way through the earth to the opposite side. This cannot happen. Any meltdown will only bore through the ground until it hits the water table, at which time it will be discharged back into the atmosphere with the steam. Even if there were no water table, the fissile material would stop when it reached the earth's core, since it cannot fight upward against gravity.\n\nThe accident at Chernoybl, if I remember correctly, never even reached the water table. It was controlled by the containment facility.

I think we would all like to think that we would close the bridge and save the train because that is what we were hired to do - but who, in reality, could knowingly kill their own child.   I believe this is one of those questions that cannot be answered truthfully, unless it was actually happening, even then we would not react until the last possible minute. I think I would save my child.

If ever the US would fall, it would be by NO means of other country... I mean, take for example they had a war with other country, but they won't lose. No other country can bring them down... it will only be among them and it depends on them whatever they want to happen. I guess, the second sentence states that would it still be possible that the US will fall or is it alrady breaking down?! The new generation in that country is being quite a bit-off-course and people are too much liberated.

If there is an extended lack of rainfall (compound by minimal winter snow), that would would be considered a natural disaster.\nIf man builds a dam, diverts water from a specific area and that area has minimal rainfall, that would be a man-made disaster. I hope this helps you.

Our economy would collapse.

Hoover Dam, the CCC... maybe they could RE-build us a new rail transit system so we can stop depending on cars and planes...

What if.....\n\nAll the other side has to say is, "We will cut off the hand of the aggressors!"?\n\nOr, "Did the Nazi Holocaust really happen at all?"?\n\nOr, "Israel is near annihilation."?\n\nOr some equally worthless and barbaric statement? \n\nWhat then?
