Re: [californiadisasters] 1963 Baldwin Hills Dam Disaster, Thursday, 14 December 2017

Capt. Max Schumacher, a helicopter pilot for (I believe) KMPC radio, received a Medal of Valor for a rescue he made from a rooftop during the flood...did not dare put full weight of helicopter (Bell 47G) on roof, so just touched down lightly...two people climbed on skids, and he lifted off...house then collapsed

Notes




At about this time in 1963 the
former Baldwin Hills Dam began to fail, starting out slowly
at first but gathering momentum as it progressively failed.

Almost four hours after the entire incident began the dam
finally gave way.

Water from the dam found its way into neighborhoods
downstream destroying 277 homes.

As a result of excellent evacuation efforts helped in no
small measure by the live helicopter camera coverage by
KTLA-TV, the first such live televised disaster coverage in
history only 5 lives were lost.
