Legend Stan Chambers and sidekick Hal Fishman remember their coverage of the dam break from 22 years earlier.
Wikipedia: The crack in the dam was ultimately attributed to subsidence caused by overexploitation of the Inglewood oil field. The disaster caused the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to phase out small local reservoirs such as Baldwin Hills and Silverlake. The dam was not repaired, and it was eventually filled in to form part of Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area.
