I can’t believe it’s been six years since the Oroville Dam Spillway failure! That’s six years of great content I’ve been watching. Thank you Juan!
Same here. Came for the spillway failure, stayed for the aviation videos! ✈
Same
Same here! I have family nearby Oroville, and Juan became my go-to man for accurate information regarding the Oroville near-catastrophe. Little did I know that I'd learn so much more from Juan!
Same here!
Yes
I have to admit Juan, I got a little emotional watching this. I started watching your channel during the Oroville spill and lived every day for your updates. I learned so much about so many things, especially the hatcheries downstream that suffered also. Good times with you Juan! 💙
I forgot about finding Juan Browne back then. Its been five years since my dear wife Marilyn died. Her iPad kept me company throughout the craziness of that time. N.E.OH Bob
@@bobstroud9118 My wife passed last August. I really dislike all things Apple (I'm a hardcore IT guy, so Linux, Android etc) But her Ipad keeps me company at night and I fall asleep listening to the Beatles, classical music, or favourite UA-camrs. Just hanging on to the familiar, riding out the storm waiting for the calm. Much like that spillway...
Thank god for the hatchery.

"And the men fell like hay before him......"
That when I joined too. Thanks for the excellent update. I do enjoy your channel.
The Blancolirio Channel has become my go-to for fact checking on almost any current issue that is covered by this channel, and of course, all things involving aviation news, with a smattering of just plain (or plane) fun. Thanks!
same !!!
So cool of you to give Aram some screen time again after all these years. The Oroville Theme for sure. Never gets old!
Bravo Aram. Thanks for giving Juan a license to use your work.
Great theme song.
gives me the urge to watch John Carpenter movies,
Everytime I hear "Weightless" I think of the Oroville Spillway and Blancolirio channel excellence in reporting. And everytime I hear it, it is just as good as the first time. That is the essence of great composing in my mind.
Thank you so much! :)
I watched probably every day you reported on the spillway disaster. Best reporting I’ve seen you went into such detail was terrific.
Great to see Aram actually playing the piece! Glad you chose that as your outro signature. Back in mid-January I predicted Lake Oroville would reach 80% capacity this year. Boy, was I wrong! Living up here along the West Branch of the Feather River we get a birdseye view of the lake level rising and it's beautiful beyond words. Thanks, Juan, for the stroll down memory lane.
I never would have believed it either!
What is this glorious tune?! Thank y'all for it. Beautiful
@@blancolirio Hello Juan. The tune "The Final walk" that you used a while ago. Where can I find that please. I was one of the 6 that guessed the "first use" date of the new spillway. Captivating content on many topics. Thank you.
@@TrondBørgeKrokli Goddag, Trond! Haus en gorda med du?
Thank you!
This is kind of like an anniversary edition!🐱 Circling back to where it all started. Weightless has been the perfect song for this channel. Thanks Aram!
I started with Juan's coverage of the Camp Fire in 2018, then found and followed the Oroville Dam story on his channel. Congrats on 6 years of great coverage of so many topics from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.
Great performance Aram!!! I always have enjoyed that as the theme song of this channel, great to see it performed.
Love that song too! And for his theme song!
Same.
It’s fun to see you talking all things Oroville Dam again. 👍✌️
I was part of the 180,000 that got evacuated back in 2017. Most important was that is how I got hooked on your channel and my Jaun Brown Internship started. Thanks 😊 🙏
Aram's playing was almost as mesmerizing as watching the water flow down the new spillway and get dispersed thru the dentures. Your channel has captivated me since the water overtopped the emergency spillway. The engineering details were all thoughtfully detailed. Thank you for your many unique perspectives.
Thank you!
Wow.....that's the first time I've seen that video of Aram playing his tune. Fantastic.
Wow! 6 years? It has been fun getting to know you Juan :)
Juan -- It is so good to hear your entire theme song played so beautifully by Aram Bedrosian and to actually see who he is. He is such a talented guy, and it's great that you chose his song for your channel.
Thank you, Kathy!
@@arambedrosian I see that you composed this song long before most of us had ever heard of Juan's channel back in February of 2017. Is is just so perfect for Juan's lifestyle and activities. It is so easy to remember events that have happened since he started using it. I urge everyone to check out your UA-cam channel and other music. I am a new subscriber! Thank you!
@@arambedrosian So Aram, have you and Juan ever met? Or I wonder how he was introduced to your music? Are you also a pilot, & did what airport did you film the videos at (the ones that were at a small airport)?!
That is some darn beautiful engineering! Thanks Juan!
Yep that's about the time I started watching your channel. Always excellent content. Man, they grow up so fast don't they Juan? Thank you.
WOW! When you zoom in with the camera shots, I am amazed at how huge everything is. Very impressive!
Those were some exciting as well as scary days in 2017, and you Juan were there to deliver no nonsense reporting to us Utubers. You deserve awards for your service and investigating into the geologic structure surrounding the dam.
I was just there with the family today. We hiked down the trail from the road as far down as possible to the spillway. It's a very cold wind coming off the spillway. Very impressive sight.
Thank you for sharing the past 6 years of your life's journey and reporting on news events of interest to all of us. You are an inspiration to all as a man, a husband and father, a communicator and an aviator. The World is blessed for your being. Thanks for sharing.
You must live in cali
@Banjo Paisley : No, but hell no. I'm in Kentucky, but I do eat foods grown in Commifornia. I have been subscribed to the "White Lily" since Juan first started reporting on the Oroville dam. There are few UA-cam channels with as much content on such varying subjects that are presented in the honest and objective perspective as produced by Juan Browne. He is a class act and 100% professional.
Wow, I had no idea that Aram was playing all that by himself. Amazing bassist/musician! (I love that song.)
Thanks, Juan, for that fascinating look back at your intro and the great reporting you did for Oroville.
Thank you! :)
He has a lot of great songs - check out his channel here on UA-cam & his music on Spotify!
Beautiful sight! Thx Juan for sharing. Loved seeing your family enjoying the test run from four years ago. Aram rocks the “Weightless” theme too. Hope all’s well at the HQ 🙏
Juan this was great!
Between the technical data and the various videos of the release of all of the water, it was captivating 👍🏼
Also thank you for including the video of Adam playing! 🥰👍🏼
I can't believe it has been that long. I remember following your UA-cam looking forward to every new episode you put out. Great channel and great content.
Thanks for a great report, i started following you because of the dam and i am an aviation enthusiast.
Great to see the artist behind the guitar.
Thank you for what you do I enjoy your content . I started watching during the Orville dam failure. But never stopped watching . I love the aviation news to . God bless. Love ❤️ ya
So good to see Oroville looking healthy again and water flowing. I don't think any of our reservoirs could have gotten much lower. The whole state was drying up. Hope we have some good rain years now.
My goodness has it been 6 yrs.since you started?! Time marches on. I visited the area after this happened but before the Camp fire. The Camp fire changed everything.
Enjoyed seeing Aram play at the end. Great job! Nice to hear more of the song and see it played.
Looks like Spg. is getting closer now, inch by inch. Take care -
Stay safe.
Trip down memory lane. Amazing work they did on that spillway. Really enjoyed your reporting on that. Nice job Juan.
Awesome to see the musician performing at the end!
Thank you for this recap of the Oroville Spillway Crisis. I was fascinated when it was going on, and was curious if any footage of the rebuilt spillway would surface. You do a wonderful job as a reporter, Juan.
Great Content Juan. Those men working on the spillway emergency repairs. True Heros!
Another great video Juan! In my younger years I work in the hydro electric industry here in New Zealand and trained as a radio technician, so it was great to was great to see the power of falling water roaring down the spillway. Been a while since I've seen a dam spilling precious dollars "down the drain"!! I also love your theme song by Aram. As a bass player too, this especially resonates, at big fat low frequencies for me! :)
I am loving the long outro Juan. Thanks for showing Aram’s talent on the bass guitar.
You made a good day better. Thanks again Juan. Good to see you with the family too. :)
Hey Juan, just wanted to say hello. Love your videos and I too was one of the tons of subs you picked up during the Oroville emergency. Your coverage of it was top notch. Can't believe how long it's been already.
Nice to revisit why I originally subscribed. You were the best source of information on that incident back then. It was in the national media, but none of them could explain what happened, what the threats were and what they were doing about it. It was a nice bonus to find out that you flew my favorite airliner and started reporting on aviation incidents.
Jaun. You and your family are awesome. I'm so proud of you and what you do on your channel. Love from a retired Crane Operator of 53 years. In other words, I'm old, and have actually worked for Keiwit on power house jobs here in Kansas City. Hope to fly with you before I leave this planet. 🤩
Dash...I sure hope that can happen for you. That brought me to tender tears. ✨😊👍♥️ What a Blessing to fly with Juan Browne. You know you're in excellent hands.
Were you at the Bennett Dam in B.C. 60's ??? It was previously the Portage Mountain Dam. PKS ,Dawson Hall, did the fill Diversion tunnels and the Spillway. and MKO did the powerhouse and FENCO did the switchyard. Crane Op = awesome job
Thanks for letting us watch the bass in this performance of your theme song. He's quite a musician.
Juan and Aram - best combination on UA-cam. Thanks guys! 👍🏻
Excellent report Juan .... AND ... the extended music sequence of Aram Bedrosian. So fine !
I live in Australia, and I'm not generally particularly interested in weather or hydrology videos, but I love yours! Started watching for the air accident analysis (of which you are one of the very best!), but now I'm happy whenever I see you've dropped another video, whatever the topic, so many thanks for all you do! 💜
“Roll that beautiful spill way footage.”
It is truly amazing how horribly things can go when a few aspects of something are overlooked. The domino affect when the main spillway failure started almost ended in total catastrophe. So interesting and terrifying.
INDEED ! "domino effect" and/or unforeseen "cascading" problems can be catastrophic. Airline safety is said to be a prime example of "anti-fragile" - each failure making "the system" stronger/ better/ safer. There are no mistakes, only lessons... the mistake is in not heeding the lessons! B-)
Just reliving it 6 years later. I was introduced to all of this up here in Canada. Thanks to Juan.
Due to our states leaders incompetence. The static spillway almost having a catastrophic failure is due to them never completing final construction. No engineer in their right mind would design a spillway to drop the water right onto the bedrock that serves as its foundation! Water in motion is one of the most powerful and destructive forces in nature. We got to see it in action and at less then 10% of its rated capacity it almost failed
Great update Juan, and from a video pro pov, that drone work is actually really good, which isn't something you usually see in public works vids.
Oh my goodness, I haven't checked in on your channel in awhile! First saw you at the time of the spillway failure back in 2017, watched and learned a lot from your updates. Then on to the tragic fires in Paradise and that whole region. I'm in Michigan and we rarely have any large scale disasters, and watching your updates gave me a new interest in how what happens on the other side of the country is important to know and gave me a new perspective on how connected we all are. Thanks again, Juan for your excellent report on what's happening today. Much appreciated. And also, I loved hearing the now famous "Weightless" theme song. Much love to you and your family and here's hoping that as spring progresses and the waters come down that catastrophe is avertded by that beautiful, earthen dam. 🙏
Thanks Juan, you covered the Oroville disaster better than anyone. Looking forward to your future coverage. Watching from NB Canada
I started following your channel during your outstanding reporting of the disaster that almost was. I thought you were pretty cool. Then when it was known that you are a pilot at AA, where I once worked, I thought you were even cooler! Thank you for all you do!!
Orville failure brought me to the channel back in 17. I grew up in the area and the massive infrastructure of the DNR and other utilities has always fascinated me. Appreciate the incredible insight into this stuff.
Deja video from another time. Seeing the full shot of the spillway and the dam and all it’s surroundings fully repaired and grown in. Wow. What a great time it was following your reporting on the spillway failure and all that followed. The construction process was a site to behold and a journey into man’s ability to come together with the right plan and workers for the job and accomplish such an enormous and complex construction project. I miss the simplicity of then compared to the insanity of now, during and after the “pandemic”.
Started watching when you were covering the dam failure. We follow the aviation updates as well. The complete presentation of 'Weightless' was a nice treat as well. Good work!
Oh! You put the musicians up! Good for you. I've always loved the music on your channel.
I, too, started following your channel about the time you documented Oroville’s flooding woes from the mighty Luscombe. About that time devastating wildfires had completely wiped out several communities, and you showed us the aftermath of that at s well. Those four huge baffles at the bottom of the spillway are ingenious! As always, thanks Juan for the updates. Tell Mrs. Jenny hey and hug the kiddos for us!😊
3/11/23; Oroville Damn update.. thx Juan for another educational video on this water release. Aerial views, data from Calf.authorities, weather man expert...& beautiful kids enjoying fresh air, water mist from open flood gates at safe zone highway view point. Much enjoy your YT channel, always a 'must see'.. Stay safe & carry on...👍⚙️👏🙂
Good job. Hard to believe it’s been six years. I’ve enjoyed every video, thanks.
Great report.. found your channel because of this event. Love Weightless, matched your orville reports... keep up the great work.
I’m happy for you guys from the Midwest! I found this amazing channel during the Oroville emergency when I was looking for videos and stuff of what was going on, and have followed it and became a patron since! Hard to believe it’s been 6 years!! Keep up the great work brownie!!
Ohh and loved the outro of Aram!
So much joy in this video! A bright spot in what's been a difficult winter for so many.
Juan, you did a wonderful job of staying on top of the damn failure and keeping all concerned informed of what was happen. A great service to the folks of the whole area. I spent some time are Oroville to Yuba City back in 2005. Wonderful area. I was really concerned for my account and all my friends.
There was no dam failure, but I might have to agree with the $Billion "damn failure" of the concrete and engineers.
Beautiful! (Water, in CA!!)
Excellent video compilation, Juan. Thanks for the concise, contextual info! You worked hard on this one.
Regards to Aram. The news reports I have seen over the last few days from parts of California remind me of the spring of 1965 here in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. The winter of 1964-1965 was severe. The spring of 1965 was unusually warm and the floods hit. The flood of 1965 is still referred to as The Mother Of All Floods.
Sure works well when not in a state of disrepair. Thanks for update! (P.S. Juan, you were well "on the map" before your Oroville video documentation).👍
Thanks Juan. Been waiting for your report on this. Some of the CA flooding looks horrendous. Lots of folks are going to need help.
Thank you so much, Jaun! 💯 It's truly wonderful to have "Weightless" be a part of your amazing videos and channel. 👏🤘☁
I just wanted to thank you again Juan for providing the wide-ranging content that you work so hard to do, I have learned quite a lot over The years now as I have been a subscriber since the days of The evacuation and just before it I,had made my first visit to Oroville because my son was moving there while attending Lineman School in Oroville at NLC, And he was staying in a Mobile home that was in a MH/RV park and he was probably about 100 feet roughly from The Western Bank of The Feather River luckily he was back in Phoenix when The flooding and evacuation was taking place and that was when I, started following your channel and have enjoyed watching you Run with it and making it Into my favorite channel and it was Great to see Aram performing "Weightless" I had forgotten about it, and I will be going back and watching again, he is such a Great player. Thanks again JB !
Thanks for the great recap. Glad to see we're in a better place this year. You provide the best coverage in the area.
What a nice treat for my birthday! Seeking some more detailed news about the main spillway failure back in early 2017 I fortunately stumbled across your channel and it turned out to be the best source of information by far. Instant subscribe, followed the story almost from day 1, learned so much from your citizen journalist reporting. I fondly remember the plunge pool, Croyle Canyon, RCC, the Thermalito Afterbay - and who could forget the wonders of the secant cut-off wall!
During the first few months of 2018 I vacationed on a round the world journey and caught up with all your reports in some very exotic locations. So good to get this update and be able to see the results of the reconstruction, and also to see how much the channel has grown since those early days.
Your coverage of the Oroville dam failure was a true watershed event.. 🤠🏆
Excellent job of reporting, as always! Hard to believe it's been that long since the failure of the spillway. Thanks for all these years of reporting, Juan. You're a model that many should follow. Loved listening to your commentary on the drone shots. Got all nostalgic for the days of the rebuild. :)
Thanks for all your hard work on getting this information to us.Your fly overs are absolutely amazing, giving us a perspective never dreamed of. Thanks again Juan
Juan this old spilway footage is your first video I ever watched and have followed ever since. Great work on this and every thing since!!!
This is a beautiful sight. All that work has paid off. Thank you Juan
Also Juan thank you. Your updates are so much better than DWR. I live in Kansas City Missouri. I started following you because of Orville. Nobody does as well as you on the major events.
Juan,
Thank you for this! I saw this yesterday as well as the Kernville flooding! Hope you and your family are ok.
Paul (in MA)
ps love the archived video from the Mighty Luscombe!
Thank you for the beautiful outro! I adore your theme music, and to hear it in it's entirety and to watch it being played was a real treat. So was the update on the Oroville Dam.
You never disappoint with boring redundant content. The Oroville Dam story was my first "meeting" of you and your channel. Thanks for keepin' it real Juan and thanks for the introduction to the Mark Finan Weather Channel!
In my experience, kids grow like zucchinis. Before you know it they are in their 20s.
I discovered your channel during the spillway disaster, and have continued to watch your content due to your great reporting.
Incredibly spectacular! This is almost like watching mythology being created. I wonder if the planners knew that dam would make so much history in so short a time. Nice to see the water and snow back, hope the flooding downstream isn't too bad, but I guess levees are already giving out, so there's that...
Thanks for the update, Juan.
Your ability to provide clear and concise information is amazing, and what originally drew me to your channel.
You gather facts, speak eloquently of what you know, and point out what you do not know.
This has brought you a well-deserved following, that reflexively checks to see what you have to say.
And we are never disappointed.
Crazy that much time has passed! That was the very beginning of my love affair with aviation, and I didn't even know you were a pilot at that point in time!! You can imagine how excited I was when the Luscombe came out for the aerial footage of the dam situation! Then the dirt bikes and motorcycles came out - what are the odds this guy has the exact same interests I do, lol! Great to see the man behind that AWESOME bass riff at the end there, too! Goosebump city, all from a bass guitar! Impressive stuff! Everything just came together in '17, and here we are with you nudging FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND subs!! Been a hell of a ride, Juan!! 🤘😬🤘 😜🍻
Wow I wish we could divert this water to lake Mead the same way California gets water diverted from lake Mead return the water
Best Blancolirio quote ever. "What a difference a billion dollars can make!". I was riveted to your reporting back then and we still never miss a video. Thanks for keeping it real!
Great update Juan!
I am a bass player and aviator. Your channel introduced me to Aram and his music. I remember the first time I saw the video on weightless and saw it was only bass. Completely blew me away. I am still working out his setup that produces the remarkable and amazing sound that is his music. Thanks for the outro clip of him performing.
Great news Juan..i hope this will help put a nail in the water issues.
Juan, a very good revision of the earlier days back up to now. Nice too to see Aram of the bass guitar theme on the 'bonus footage at the end' (when I first heard that then I looked him up and occasionally still do to keep current).
Out of curiosity I looked up Oroville vs Table Rock Lake…Nearly the same acre-feet…Table Rock is about three times the surface area…but it appears the 72,000 record CFS is about a third of the highest Oroville CFS. I’ve been at the Hatchery below when they were doing pretty close to that record…and at a pretty close 600-ish feet away, it’s a VERY impressive sound and feel. Can’t imagine what 3x that would be like.
That helps put it in perspective - I’m familiar with Table Rock Lake!
I started watching you when you started to report out on the spillway failure. Love your channel and everything you share! So interesting to see how the reservoir has changed over the years and just the last couple of months. Keep it up. Love it!!!
Amazing screen shot at 2:23. I can't quit staring at it, with the perfect lighting and all. Awesome job of landscaping and re-shaping all those areas that were torn up. I especially like the rocky stream bed leading down off the Emergency spillway. Is that all going to be public park land? Certainly looks like it is meant to be enjoyed up close.
Thanks Aram! Thank you Juan. I wouldn't have heard this music without you Juan! I've learned so much from you. Thank you.
I was working in Marin County when the spillway failure occurred. I wasn't aware of scope of the failure, I just saw headlines and news bites. I also wasn't aware of your channel, that was only recently. Informative channel none the less, thanks for the solid content.
Wow where has the time gone. Thank you for this presentation and video. That big O dam looks beautiful a result of all the outstanding engineering and hard work. I enjoyed watching how that new emergency spillway works.
My mom was driving on the day it busted and could see the breaking apart happen. I live down south in Orange County and you kept me updated and helped me worry less about my mom being up there. I was up visiting her a couple weeks before the Paradise fire and had a premonition of what was to come. I looked around at how dry it was up there and kept wondering how anyone would make it out of the area if a fire should happen and then two weeks later had to watch the whole thing unfold on the news
Of the few news channels I watched , none had video of the initial release, from dry to wet, as you did Juan. 👏
Amazing! Thank you for extensively disseminating all this data. Love the overhead viewing. Again, thank you.
Thanks for the video, Juan. I have been watching since the start of the Oroville spillway incident. I live not far from there,
Flashbacks to when I first hit subscribe on your channel. It was the 2019 spillway disaster. I came for the disaster, I stayed for the aviation!
Great report. Thanks! Also very nice of you in showing us Aram Bedrosian playing his song.
Thanks for the update and putting a face to the music we have enjoyed for such a long time.
Wonderfully informative and explained video yet again Juan. Even for me five and a half thousand miles away in the middle of England. So many people, not just in California, the USA, Europe or anywhere else around the world know or understand just what has to happen before they get to turn on a tap (sorry, fawcet) or flick a switch to turn a light on? We all take so much for granted.
Love you JB. This year is insane here in crescent city we just had to rescue people at 1500' w 6-7feet of snow 3 miles off the ocean. They sent in snow cat to save a woman w 7'3" of snow at about 1200' . Its unseen conditions. Gotta love it.
Oroville caught the nation’s attention in ‘17, hard to believe it’s been so long ago. And the Bonus of finding Aram Bedrosian’s great bass music! Thanks Juan.
We topped it next year with the Camp Fire
Cheers for the update Juan. Loved the outro of Adam's Weightless video. A very talented dude. 👍
Great update, and thanks for the Aram piece at the end. I absolutely love that song.
