October 28, 2011 — The White Salmon River in Washington state is flowing again as the nearly 100-year-old Condit Dam was disabled with explosives Wednesday. The reservoir draining took about 2 hours. Further demolition is scheduled in 2012. The event is a significant milestone for river restoration and dam removal nationwide.

Very Cool ! Thanks for Posting the video < Just think what would happen to lake berryesa and the creek if they blew up montacello dam that would be cool to watch . I wonder what it would do to to the creek and fishing ?
They have talked about doing that to Engelbright dam on the Yuba for years. If memory serves me right it was supposed to open up another 70 miles of river for potential salmon spawning.
