Five of thirteen workers at the dam site on Kettle Creek escaped with injuries as the interlocking steel sheet wall buckled at night. Five others fell into the 65 foot deep water and were rescued. Divers prepared to search the wreckage for possible bodies while a cofferdam may be built to drain and recover debris and remains.
