A civil engineering disaster 177 years in the making.

Interesting story developing in the Columbus area. A large man made lake, Buckeye Lake, is under threat because of decades of poor planning. Basically, people were allowed to build into an earthen dam that was created the mid 1800s. Now the damn is compromised, and the economy of the entire area is under threat. Replacing a 4 mile long earthen dam is not going to be cheap!
