Today is niagara falls runs dry day! On this day march 29th 1848, the falls ran dry for around 40 hours due to ice blockages. But did you know the falls went dry another time in 1969 when it was dammed up. In 1969, the US Army Corps of Engineers dumped 27,000 tons of rock to dam the Niagara River and stop the American Falls. They were assessing a growing pile of boulders at the bottom out of concern the falls could become rapids. What a sight to see!
