Fifty Million Tons Of Ice In Huge Missouri River Jam
Army engineers estimated 50,000,000 tons of ice obstructing the Missouri River downstream of Bismarck forming a twenty mile jam. Despite gauges showing flood peak passed upstream, downstream levels rose to record heights as the gorge resisted breakup. Major G R Young planned a survey flight to refine dynamite methods after 1,000 pounds exploded Wednesday and work continued to prevent days of water blockage. Lowlands remained flooded as the river crested at 18.5 feet after a 15.2 foot stage.
