I know this is a 12 years vid, but thank you so much for the explanations!!

P R O M O S M

I got into a argument with my mom when I tried to do this

Yo

Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.

This was fascinating, thanks for the upload.

wow......that brings back memories! now I gotta go search for the Mulligan Stew Gang!

Great video. The river looks 1000 percent better than when the dam was there. It sure is a lot easier to take a dam down than to put it up.

salmon swim up river to spawn correct..this damn was built over 80 years ago correct..So obviously, unless these salmon are over 80 there have adapted to spawning lower than the dam...I mean, I saw it on the video of these people grabbing them north of the dam, I assume they were already south of it. So tear down a dam for what reason??? I would imagine all the silt from the blast killed off anything trying to breath in that water.

i bet cha 100 bucks the frog the girl was talking about was pepe the frog

Someone posted this on facebook and turned me 4 years old for half a minute. What a blast from the past.

Kiteman always creeped me out a little as a kid.

This makes me happy! I wish they would take down The Dalles Dam, Celilo falls needs to be restored, Its a major fishery and a natural wonder! All the other dams along the river can stay but The Dalles Dam needs to go!

better to have the cheap, carbon free, 'lectric.

Take that damn .. dam down ... damn ... dam ....

A most interesting and sometimes moving video.Thank you Pacific Power!

I ran this river from BZ Corner to Husum Falls in my kayak with two strangers. It was the most athletic, scariest, most memorable experience of my life. I never ran anything that hard before, and have never run anything that hard since.

great vid

Excellent documentary!

Ah the memories!

A great video, very informative and well done.

Wait until the environmentalists want to use tax money to uninstall the roads.

For all that we humans take from nature I get a warm fuzzy seeing that we know how to give back even more to the point that you would hardly have known that there was a large concrete hydroelectric Dam, that was in service for almost 100 years, on this on this very spot just the year before. Great job. Off to a good start. Keep up the green work.

corny does not even begin to describe this

Its sad to see such a magnificient civil engineering miracle to be destroyed... that dam was really beautiful :(

Great Video! looks far better as a flowing river

Pretty cool story!

Why didn't they save all that wood? That's about 250,000 board feet, plus the coffer dam. At $5.00 Bf. = $1,250,000

Great, inspiring video.

A fascinating video. Hats off to all the people involved in the restoration of that beautiful river.

Nice that they have so much consideration to the residents who had a dock on the lake and now have just a muddy river bank so the power company could save some money. I'm so sick and disgusted at all the dam removals because of some fish and money. What a bunch of morons.

Some of the background on the removal of Condit Dam that wasn't apparent to the locals. Thanks PacifiCorp, well done.

Right on! Nice job!

This makes me happy.

5:12 over and over again. lol

what is the background music?

Thanks! Wonderful vid! I was wondering what you were going to do with the rest of the dam.

@EspionageWest Yes and maybe we'll ride horses to ,do you think these putzes were required to replace the lost energy with solar? or will more coal be burned.

I think they will regret they did this in 20 years. 7000 homes electrified gone. The easily could have built a cement fish ladder. Maybe the dam was about to fill anyways.

Why wasn't this video all nasty and blurry with no sound like other youtubes? But seriously, this is an excellent vid. Congratulations to all!

dumpert

@ 0:25, poor fishie, it should have been pulled out instead of pushing it thrue..

Damn dam comments...

Yes, fish can "climb" fishladders and waterfalls, and no, those are not hatchery fish. This process should (slowly) restore the wild habitat and native fish populations. The rivers feeding the Columbia used to be full of fish like those you see in this video. If the habitat is restored, the native fish will outnumber and outdo the hatchery fish. I don't think there was any engineering done on the hatchery fish, though. They're actually weaker than the wild fish.

@Forty8andtwo They're called pine trees. Apparently they were quite abundant on this planet long ago.

sacrifice independence from OIl for the sick salmon worship fetish.....insanity.

DDAAAAMMM!

very awesome vid different than most on here
