Short Stuff: Niagara Falls Dewatered

In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the wild story of when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers literally dried up Niagara Falls for several months in 1969 to study and stabilize the American Falls. The hosts explore the fascinating engineering feat of building a massive cofferdam to divert the Niagara River, what they discovered about the geological processes eroding the falls, and the surprising finds in the exposed riverbed including mysterious human remains. They also cover how the project ultimately led authorities to decide to let nature take its course rather than artificially prevent erosion.
