Hoover dam caravan?

<< < (3/4) > >>

BrunoAnso:
if you left the floodgates open on it, it'd survive indefinitely, its a big wall of cement! you'd have to hit it directly with a pentrating bomb to punch through, and interior would be completely defended from radiation

Roachor:
The pressure from the water behind it would destroy it eventually, all dams are in need of constant repair. I doubt they would open it before the bombs dropped and flood a populated area just so a wall could remain. They covered it "Life after people"(history channel program). Then again within a hundred years there would be very little left of most buildings, a house will disappear in like 20 untended. Just look at Detroit.

um, but if you ran to the dam for shelter, treated it like a vault, surely you would just open the floodgates post-bombing on the principle that everyone down there is dead anyways, big surprise for anyone opening their vault later which is now under a few metres of radioactive material filled water.

You'd starve to death even if you managed to survive the blasts, as for vaults in the areas it would flood the water would be long gone once the vault opened. More likely the door would open to desert in every direction.



Note: Lol my own wiki link proved me wrong. hoover damn wouldn't collapse for 10 000 years? jesus.

BrunoAnso:
the dam blocks a river bro, provided its source is fairly safe from the blasts (mountaintop) the water would still flow, the river would become a creek but it would exist.
