CASCADING WATER Fast moving water cascades down this
Baldwin Hills street after a reservoir dam hurst and sent al

stroyed. Al one spot the torrent of n'.er and mud swirling over
the area was 12 feet deep. (UPI)

(TtACK INSPECTED Water Service Chief Lee Clark inspects
a crack in the surface of the Baldwin Hills reservoir dam just
prior lo the disaster. This crack was the first warning officials
had of what was to come. Rescue and cleanup crews were
swarming over the area todav in attempts to get accurate es-

of loss of property. (UPI )

lapidly Down
Baldwin Hills
LOS ANGELES (UPI) For persons trap
ped in the path of the torrent unleashed when
the reservoir dam collapsed Saturday, the de
luge swept down with unbelievable speed.
Mrs. Eileen Stockton was rescued by heli
copter after she was caught by water four feet
deep.
"I know it happened in a hurry," she said.
"I was just getting in my car to leave my house.
The water came rushing down the driveway,
and then it was too late. I tried to run around
the garage and get away from the water but it
engulfed me."
She said she grabbed a patio fence and hung
onto it until the helicopter picked her up. She
said the water swirling about her was four feet
deep.
The copter brought the mud-covered wom
an to the home of Sam Belknap on a hill near
and slightly above the reservoir.
Belknap had seen the dam give way: "It start
ed at the bottom and kept getting larger and
larger eroding away toward the top. Then the
blacktop road surrounding the reservoir gave
way. Then the reservoir itself collapsed."
Assistant Fire Chief Forrest W. Moore of
the Los Angeles Fire Department said the roar
ing water cut "a swath of destruction 100 to 200
feet wide, below the reservoir."
"Autos are piled on top of each other and
we believe as many as several hundred homes
have been destroyed," Moore said. "We start
ed through into the area where the water was
highest, but before we got there people were
screaming for help.
"So we came back and sent the helicopter in
to get them out," Moore said.
Police Inspector Ed Walker said, "It would
have been a real serious tragedy if there hadn't
been any warning."
R. C. Elliott, a home-owner in the area, said
his wife called him at his orrice and told him
the dam was breaking.
"I rushed home and got to my home before
the dam burst," Elliott said. I stood at the top
of a hill and watched as the gap widened and
the rush of water increased. Then it broke.
"It was obvious to me my home was definite
ly gone," he said. "My home went very fast as
I stood watching. All I saw was what was left
