Engineering Horror of Johnstown Flood Debris Dredging
J P Roberts outlines a plan to salvage thousands of dollars in goods from the Conemaugh pool near Johnstown where wreckage and human remains lie beneath up to 26 feet of water. He proposes dynamite aided blasts to loosen debris, then dredging to recover valuables and human bones, with a hull and dredge to 28 feet depth and careful sorting on shore. The effort is compared to Pompeii and Jerusalem for scale, urging funded action and contract work to clear the three-acre pool and restore buried items.
