Dam Breaks, Millions of Gallons of Water Escape Arizona Lake

Part of a dam broke on Tempe Town Lake in Arizona on Tuesday night, allowing millions of gallons of water to escape the man-made lake and flow into a dry riverbed. City officials tell the Arizona Republic it will cost up to $400,000 to refill the lake. The video below was taken around 10:45 pm, about one hour after the accident, according to the user, mwcolman.
