[blockquote][em]Giant cracks have opened in one of the world's tallest dams, just months after completion. The cracks appeared after a tunnel collapsed on 20 June beneath the 200-metre-high Campos Novos dam in southern Brazil, and the reservoir rapidly emptied. At one point, 4000 cubic metres of water (more than enough to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool) were rushing downstream every second towards a second dam on the river Canoas.[/em][/p] [/blockquote] [a href="vny!://www.newscientisttech.com/article/mg19125593.300-enormous-new-dam-fails-in-brazil.html"]Link[/a]
