Westworld is real life!!! 

Not too concerned about fire on the concrete, and I assume the explosion they caused that little fire isn’t sufficiently energetic to cause harm. 

So how does one train for a fire in a dam?

smoke? check.  massive electrical risk? check Risk of getting about 6 different kids of burns? check.

Then if you fuck up real bad, you get to drown too...

I think you could nuke the Hoover dam and it would still manage to keep some water out.

Thread title makes me think of a string of generic 1970s disaster movie titles.  "Opening this Friday!  'EXPLOSION AT HOOVER DAM!'  Starring George Kennedy and Linda Blair!"

I believe the fire is where the electrical generation equipment is.

Yikes, that could potentially be quite an expensive fire if there's any serious impairment of generation capacity

There's still water for that dam to hold back?

I really tried to find a gif of Harrison Ford running through the dam in Force 10 from Navarone but quickly lost interest

You won't even know about it if you drown, luckily.

Not a lot of gifs from that movie.  Have tried to find some before as well.

Weekend network TV in the late 70s and early 80s was all about the disaster movie.  Young DCBC ate that shit up.  Probably why Airplane! still resonates so strongly with me.  That and the "we're also out of coffee" scene.

I'll only watch it if Ernest Borgnine is in it.

when that will smith post apocalyptic movie came out, history channel started doing these shows where they look at what will happen after man.  they hypothesized the hoover dam would be the last remnant of our existence.

I was a dam builder. Across the river deep and wide. Where steel and water did collide.

A lot of people are wondering about this so all I gotta say is it’s just coincidence. I actually posted this at 1am last night and it got 1 like so I gave it another shot when I woke. Also the dam wasn’t destroyed and I live on the other side of the country nowhere near the dam.

If there was ever a place I was less concerned about a fire its at the mouth of the goddamn colorado river

That's not going to shut down A/C in Vegas, is it?
