On 26 October 2011, engineers blew a hole in the base of Washington state's Condit Dam, loosing nearly a million cubic meters of water in an instant. The surge of water, sand, and mud marked the end of the 38-meter-tall concrete dam that had blocked the White Salmon River for nearly 100 years and the beginning of a rapid transformation of the downstream environment. Using river gauge measurements, time-lapse photography, and other techniques, Wilcox et al. tracked how the White Salmon River evolved in the wake of the breach.
