2017 Oroville Dam crisis

(

)

The spillway as it disintegrates under the load of the water spilling over it.

... that nine million fish were rescued from the Feather River Fish Hatchery during the 2017 Oroville Dam crisis (pictured)? It’s not that often that you can add saving and protecting 9 million fish to your list of lifetime achievements.

Comment: The article's history is a bit complicated and may require some reading. I think I got all the major text contributors here, I may have missed some.

Comment: The article's name is currently under discussion (use of "crisis" in name fails WP:DISASTER). The hook could remain the same, just with a link to whatever new name is settled on, but an alternate might be considered. AHeneen (talk) 08:56, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
