When the first tell-tale cracks appeared in the rock at the side of Niagara Falls, Movietone cameramen kept a round-the-clock vigil. Their patience was rewarded by sensational pictures as 185,000 tons of rock crashed down to the bottom of the Falls.

A natural process; eventually the rock wears away upriver until the Great Lakes drain.

185,000 tons of rock! Not 180. Not 190. But 185….. OK.
So fishers start to form in the ground, clearly unstable and you go and decided to have a seat with your wife on it??
So many fish were squished on that day…..

this does not happen as often due to the river flow being diverted.

Interesting. In 20,000 years the falls will no longer exist.
RIP Niagara Falls from 1954

"…reeling into the abyss…"
Cool!!
Natures way of saying fuk off with putting all that shit on me.
Damn.

I remember hearing about this. Turns out that some guy called Gus Shaw was responsible. He had visited Niagara falls a week before and apparently kicked it in the balls. It was just a matter of time after that.
If that happened today they would blame it all on ‘Climate Change’ … LOL …you know they would 🙂
Even back in the 1950's people felt the need to add unnecessary music to their videos.
If this happens today it’s climate change ?
Who measured the tonnes?
Great commentary…
If it happened today, it would sound more like "Oh my God!Oh my God!Oh my God!Oh my God!Oh my God!Oh my God!"
Sometimes I feel that, I too, might go reeling into the abyss!
OK..when did we stop rolling our Rs and Gs here in the states? Was that always Hollywood, or did people speak that way in the 40 and 50s here?
