    Every time I have seen a picture of that spillway, I immediately wonder how many bodies have been disposed of there.

    • @Mrbfgray
      @Mrbfgray 9 місяців тому

      Poor disposal, they'll just float on down stream, may as well toss them in the river, easier.

    • @RLstavista
      @RLstavista 7 місяців тому +1

      Probably none... getting there is difficult enough as they have protections and barriers you'd have to get by

    • @Jay_Force_One
      @Jay_Force_One 6 місяців тому +7

      Probably zero. Not only is it not easily accessible, but even if you did happen to, the spillway leads out to the bottom of that dam. So the body would just come out and float down the river and probably be spotted fairly easily.

      Do what you want, as long as it doesn't involve hurting people and their freedom, directly or indirectly.
