Another hydroelectric dam may have been destroyed in the Himalayas by a catastrophic flood. Some rumours suggest this might have been a GLOF. Either way, I once again make the point thatmany large dam projects are not properly considering extreme events.

It's about infrastructure, but (as with the Musk story) it's also about how we ignore warning signs, miscalculate risk, and dismiss evidence even when it's right in front of us.

I wanted to add one final note of appreciation to the two research editors at @NYTmag who checked this story: @liamiller and @Elizabbarber. They made the piece immeasurably better
