1. Anyone else find it strange
That there's no video of the the repair work (not that I watch everything)? I would think that would be an important story. No tin-foil here, just surprised the story is being covered so badly.

3. All the water has flowed in
Its has reached the same level as the lake, so some attempt at repair can be made. All the water will have to be pumped out, 2 weeks at least
