The Plot of In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Flood of 1874 The year was 1874, and the small industrial town of Mill River was bustling with activity. The town's economy relied heavily on the Waddamuck Falls Dam, which provided power to the local factories and mills. However, the dam was poorly constructed and had been causing problems since its completion ten years prior. Despite these issues, the townspeople were too afraid to speak out against it, fearing reprisals from the wealthy factory owners who controlled the town's fate. On the night of May 16th, a torrential rainstorm hit the area, causing the Waddamuck River to swell and threaten to overflow the dam. The townspeople were warned of the impending danger, but they were too complacent to take action. As the night wore on, the river continued to rise, and the dam began to crack and creak ominously. Still, no one took any measures to prevent the disaster that was about to unfold.
The Plot of In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Flood of 1874 Год был 1874, и маленький промышленный городок Милл-Ривер оживлялся. Экономика города в значительной степени зависела от плотины Уоддамак-Фолс, которая обеспечивала электроэнергией местные заводы и фабрики. Однако плотина была плохо построена и вызывала проблемы с момента её завершения десятью годами ранее. Несмотря на эти вопросы, горожане слишком боялись высказываться против него, опасаясь репрессий со стороны богатых фабрикантов, контролировавших судьбу городка. В ночь на 16 мая на этот район обрушился проливной ливень, в результате чего река Ваддамак разбухла и грозила выйти из плотины. Горожан предупредили о надвигающейся опасности, но они были слишком благодушны, чтобы принять меры. С наступлением ночи река продолжала подниматься, и плотина начала зловеще трескаться и скрипеть. Все-таки никто не принял никаких мер, чтобы предотвратить катастрофу, которая вот-вот должна была развернуться.
The Plot of the Shadow of the Dam : The Aftermath of the Mill River Flood of 1874 L'année 1874 a été marquée par la revitalisation de la petite ville industrielle de Mill River. L'économie de la ville dépendait en grande partie du barrage de Waddamak Falls, qui fournissait de l'électricité aux usines et usines locales. Cependant, le barrage a été mal construit et a causé des problèmes depuis son achèvement dix ans plus tôt. Malgré ces questions, les citoyens avaient trop peur de s'exprimer contre lui, craignant la répression des riches fabricants qui contrôlaient le sort de la ville. Dans la nuit du 16 mai, une pluie torrentielle s'est abattue sur la région, faisant gonfler le fleuve Waddamak et menaçant de quitter le barrage. s citoyens ont été avertis du danger imminent, mais ils étaient trop complaisants pour agir. Depuis la nuit, la rivière a continué à monter, et le barrage a commencé à craquer et à grincer. Pourtant, personne n'a pris aucune mesure pour prévenir la catastrophe qui était sur le point de se produire.
The Plot of In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Flood of 1874 año 1874 fue y la pequeña ciudad industrial de Mill River se revitalizó. La economía de la ciudad dependía en gran medida de la presa de Waddamak Falls, que suministraba electricidad a las fábricas y fábricas locales. n embargo, la presa estaba mal construida y ha causado problemas desde su finalización diez antes. A pesar de estas cuestiones, los ciudadanos tenían demasiado miedo de hablar en su contra por temor a represalias de los ricos fabricadores que controlaban el destino de la ciudad. En la noche del 16 de mayo, un torrencial aguacero azotó la zona, provocando que el río Waddamak se hinchara y amenazara con salir de la presa. ciudadanos fueron advertidos de un peligro inminente, pero eran demasiado complacientes para tomar medidas. Al caer la noche, el río siguió subiendo y la presa comenzó a agrietarse y chirriar siniestramente. Aún así, nadie ha tomado ninguna medida para evitar una catástrofe que estaba a punto de darse la vuelta.
The Plot of In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Flut von 1874 Das Jahr war 1874 und die kleine Industriestadt Mill River lebte auf. Die Wirtschaft der Stadt war stark vom Waddamak Falls Dam abhängig, der lokale Fabriken und Fabriken mit Strom versorgte. Allerdings war der Damm schlecht gebaut und sorgte seit seiner Fertigstellung zehn Jahre zuvor für Probleme. Trotz dieser Fragen hatten die Bürger zu viel Angst, sich gegen ihn auszusprechen, aus Angst vor Repressalien der reichen Fabrikanten, die das Schicksal der Stadt kontrollierten. In der Nacht zum 16. Mai traf ein sintflutartiger Regenguss das Gebiet, wodurch der Waddamak-Fluss anschwoll und aus dem Damm zu kommen drohte. Die Bürger wurden vor der drohenden Gefahr gewarnt, aber sie waren zu selbstgefällig, um aktiv zu werden. Mit Einbruch der Dunkelheit stieg der Fluss weiter an und der Damm begann bedrohlich zu knacken und zu knarren. Dennoch hat niemand Maßnahmen ergriffen, um die Katastrophe zu verhindern, die kurz vor der Wende stand.

Barajın Gölgesinde Arsa: 1874 Mill Nehri Taşkının Sonrası Yıl 1874'tü ve küçük sanayi kasabası Mill Nehri yükseliyordu. Kasabanın ekonomisi, yerel değirmenlere ve fabrikalara güç sağlayan Waddamack Falls Barajı'na bağlıydı. Ancak, baraj kötü inşa edildi ve on yıl önce tamamlanmasından bu yana sorunlara neden oldu. Bu sorulara rağmen, kasaba halkı, kentin kaderini kontrol eden zengin üreticilerin misillemelerinden korktuğu için ona karşı konuşmaktan korkuyordu. 16 Mayıs gecesi, şiddetli bir sağanak bölgeye çarptı ve Waddamak Nehri'nin şişmesine ve barajdan çıkmakla tehdit etmesine neden oldu. Kasaba halkı yaklaşan tehlike konusunda uyarıldı, ancak harekete geçmek için çok şikayetçiydiler. Gece çöktüğünde, nehir yükselmeye devam etti ve baraj çatlamaya ve gıcırdamaya başladı. Yine de, kimse ortaya çıkmak üzere olan felaketi önlemek için herhangi bir önlem almadı.
The Plot of In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Vlood of 1874 كان العام 1874، وكانت المدينة الصناعية الصغيرة Mill River تتألق. اعتمد اقتصاد المدينة بشكل كبير على سد Waddamack Falls، الذي وفر الطاقة للمطاحن والمصانع المحلية. ومع ذلك، كان بناء السد سيئًا وتسبب في مشاكل منذ اكتماله قبل عشر سنوات. على الرغم من هذه الأسئلة، كان سكان المدينة خائفين جدًا من التحدث ضده، خوفًا من انتقام المصنعين الأثرياء الذين سيطروا على مصير المدينة. في ليلة 16 مايو، ضربت أمطار غزيرة المنطقة، مما تسبب في تضخم نهر وداماك والتهديد بالخروج من السد. تم تحذير سكان البلدة من الخطر الوشيك، لكنهم كانوا راضين عن اتخاذ إجراء. مع حلول الليل، استمر النهر في الارتفاع، وبدأ السد في التصدع والصرير بشكل ينذر بالسوء. ومع ذلك، لم يتخذ أحد أي تدابير لمنع الكارثة التي كانت على وشك أن تتكشف.
