Debris from the flood, piled against the house numbered 5 at the Cambria Iron Mills, shows how completely the water tore through the Conemaugh Valley. On May 31, 1889, the failure of the South Fork Dam sent a wall of water down the valley into Johnstown, and the flood killed more than 2,000 people. Wreckage swept downstream collected at bridges and buildings, and the mill district, which was built on the valley floor, was among the hardest hit. Pictures like this one record the scale of that destruction.
