A dam in Utah is undergoing emergency repairs after a massive crack opened this week, allowing a surge of water through.
The Panguitch Lake Dam in southwest Utah has developed a 60-foot-long crack that is allowing excess water to flood a nearby creek, posing an existential threat to the nearby towns of Panguitch and Circleville.
The crack was discovered on Monday night during an inspection, then announced to the public the following day.
