In June 1969 the Army Corps of Engineers shut down the american side of the falls for several months. Pretty interesting pictures from 1969 in this article. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1338793/Niagara-Falls-ran-dry-Photos-moment-iconic-waterfall-came-standstilll.html

I can't believe something like that is possible. That's pretty crazy. |

I knew they did it but I never saw photos of it. I'm amazed how high the rocks were at that point. I see why they were concerned |

For some reason I thought they recently shut off the Falls... Guess I was imagining things.
