       In 1974 the Erie Canal breached at Bushnells Basin, causing a
       major flood. It was the result of a problem with a culvert.
       A few years ago, the NYPA shored up over 200 feet of canal
       embankment at The Oxbow in Fairport. A Fiber Optic cable was
       compromised in the process.
       Our canal is about 200 years old. You can read about this and
       many more problems at www.eriecanalfacts.wordpress.com
       Here's the latest earthen embankment dam failure, which
       reinforces the fact that these dams are DANGEROUS if not
       maintained properly, AND these failures are a fairly regular
       occurrence.
       
       Is the Erie Canal next on the list?  It is certainly the WORST
       maintained we know about.
