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.

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. :lol:
