On December 14th 1963 in the hills about Los Angeles, the Baldwin Hills Reservoir suddenly cracked and eventually failed flooding the neighborhood below. Several people died and many homes were destroyed. Those of us who were there were already shaken by the death of John Kennedy only three weeks earlier. The reservoir's floodwaters literally washed in the turbulent times that lay ahead.

one question... when you see the braking concrete, it seems there is no steel in it. could that be?

I was 11 and we were putting up Christmas lights outside at our house in nearby Wilmington. A neighbor friend ran over and told us about the dam break and that it was on Channel 5 (KTLA). We ran in and turned on the TV and saw it live.

This brings back memories. I was only 3 but I remember having to go to my grandma's house and when we came back there was a lot of mud around, but my tricycle was a bit muddy but all right.I remember the crew rebuilding the hardest hit areas of "The Village" (Village Green) where I was living at the time. Most of the water ended up flowing into Ballona Creek and then out to the ocean.

Absolutely awesome footage of one of the mostdestructive catastrophes to hit Los Angeles...such a nice area devastated by a dam built right on top of an earthquake fault...KTLA should be applauded for its groundbreaking coverage it provided...actually showing the entire dam collapse from start to finish...all the great footage in KTLA archives and at the Radio and Television museum.
