Floodpath: The Deadliest Man-Made Disaster of 20th Century America and the Making of Modern Los Angeles The book "Floodpath" by Jon Wilkman tells the story of one of the deadliest man-made disasters in 20th century America, the collapse of the St. Francis Dam in Los Angeles in 1928, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 500 people. The book explores the evolution of technology and the need for a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for human survival and unity in a warring state. On March 12, 1928, just before midnight, the St. Francis Dam, a twentystory high concrete structure located fifty miles north of Los Angeles, suddenly collapsed, unleashing a devastating flood that ravaged everything in its path. The deluge claimed nearly 500 lives, yet today, it is virtually forgotten. Through eyewitness accounts and a combination of urban history, life-and-death drama, and technological detective work, Floodpath reanimates the reality behind LA noir fictions such as the classic film Chinatown. In an era of climate change, increasing demand on water resources, and neglected American infrastructure, the tragedy of the St. Francis Dam has never been more relevant or timely. The book focuses on William Mulholland, the self-taught engineer who designed and constructed the St. Francis Dam and was responsible for creating an unprecedented water system that allowed Los Angeles to become America's second-largest city.
Floodpath: The Deadliest Man-Made Disaster of 20th Century America and the Making of Modern Angeles Книга Джона Уилкмана «Floodpath» рассказывает об одной из самых смертоносных техногенных катастроф в Америке XX века - обрушении плотины Святого Франциска в Лос-Анджелесе в 1928 году, которое привело к гибель почти 500 человек. Книга исследует эволюцию технологий и необходимость личностной парадигмы восприятия технологического процесса развития современного знания как основы выживания и единства человека в воюющем государстве. 12 марта 1928 года, незадолго до полуночи, плотина Святого Франциска, высокая бетонная конструкция, расположенная в пятидесяти милях к северу от Лос-Анджелеса, внезапно обрушилась, вызвав разрушительное наводнение, которое разорило все на своем пути. Потоп унес почти 500 жизней, но сегодня он практически забыт. Благодаря свидетельствам очевидцев и сочетанию городской истории, драмы жизни и смерти и технологической детективной работы, Floodpath реанимирует реальность, стоящую за нуаровыми вымыслами Лос-Анджелеса, такими как классический фильм «Китайский квартал». В эпоху изменения климата, растущего спроса на водные ресурсы и запущенной американской инфраструктуры трагедия плотины Святого Франциска никогда не была столь актуальной или своевременной. Книга посвящена Уильяму Малхолланду, инженеру-самоучке, который спроектировал и построил плотину Святого Франциска и был ответственен за создание беспрецедентной системы водоснабжения, которая позволила Лос-Анджелесу стать вторым по величине городом Америки.

Floodpath: Die tödlichste Man-Made-Katastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts Amerika und die Entstehung des modernen Angeles John Wilkmans Buch „Floodpath“ erzählt von einer der tödlichsten menschengemachten Katastrophen im Amerika des 20. Jahrhunderts - dem Einsturz des St.-Franziskus-Staudamms in Angeles 1928 in Angeles, wo fast 500 Menschen starben. Das Buch untersucht die Entwicklung der Technologie und die Notwendigkeit eines persönlichen Paradigmas für die Wahrnehmung des technologischen Prozesses der Entwicklung des modernen Wissens als Grundlage für das Überleben und die Einheit des Menschen in einem kriegsführenden Staat. Am 12. März 1928, kurz vor Mitternacht, brach der St.-Franziskus-Damm, eine hohe Betonkonstruktion fünfzig Meilen nördlich von Angeles, plötzlich zusammen und verursachte eine verheerende Flut, die alles auf ihrem Weg verwüstete. Die Flut forderte fast 500 Menschenleben, aber heute ist sie praktisch vergessen. Mit Augenzeugenberichten und einer Kombination aus Stadtgeschichte, ben-Tod-Drama und technologischer Detektivarbeit reanimiert Floodpath die Realität hinter den Noir-Fiktionen von Angeles wie dem Filmklassiker „Chinatown“. In einer Zeit des Klimawandels, der steigenden Nachfrage nach Wasserressourcen und der vernachlässigten amerikanischen Infrastruktur war die Tragödie des St.-Franziskus-Staudamms noch nie so aktuell oder zeitgemäß. Das Buch ist William Mulholland gewidmet, einem autodidaktischen Ingenieur, der den St.-Franziskus-Damm entworfen und gebaut hat und für die Schaffung eines beispiellosen Wasserversorgungssystems verantwortlich war, das es Angeles ermöglichte, die zweitgrößte Stadt Amerikas zu werden.

Floodpath: The Deadliest Man-Made Disaster of 20th Century America and the Making of Modern Angeles John Wilkman'ın kitabı "Floodpath", Amerika'nın 20. yüzyılın en ölümcül insan yapımı felaketlerinden birini anlatıyor - 1928'de Angeles'taki St. Francis Barajı'nın çöküşü, yaklaşık 500 kişinin ölümüyle sonuçlandı. Kitap, teknolojinin evrimini ve savaşan bir durumda insanın hayatta kalması ve birliğinin temeli olarak modern bilginin gelişiminin teknolojik sürecinin kişisel bir algı paradigması ihtiyacını araştırıyor. 12 Mart 1928'de, gece yarısından hemen önce, Angeles'ın elli mil kuzeyinde bulunan uzun bir beton yapı olan St. Francis Barajı aniden çöktü ve yoluna çıkan her şeyi tahrip eden yıkıcı bir sele neden oldu. Sel neredeyse 500 can aldı, ancak bugün neredeyse unutuldu. Görgü tanığı hesapları ve kentsel tarih, ölüm kalım draması ve teknolojik dedektiflik çalışmalarının bir kombinasyonu ile Floodpath, klasik film Chinatown gibi Angeles noir kurgularının ardındaki gerçeği yeniden canlandırıyor. İklim değişikliği, artan su talebi ve ihmal edilen Amerikan altyapısı çağında, St. Francis Barajı trajedisi hiç bu kadar acil ya da zamanında olmamıştı. Kitap, St. Francis Barajı'nı tasarlayan ve inşa eden ve Angeles'ın Amerika'nın en büyük ikinci şehri olmasını sağlayan benzeri görülmemiş bir su sistemi oluşturmaktan sorumlu olan kendi kendini yetiştirmiş bir mühendis olan William Mulholland'a adanmıştır.
Floodpath: أخطر كارثة من صنع الإنسان في أمريكا القرن العشرين وصنع كتاب لوس أنجلوس الحديث جون ويلكمان يؤرخ لواحدة من أخطر الكوارث التي من صنع الإنسان في أمريكا في القرن العشرين - انهيار سد القديس فرانسيس في لوس أنجلوس عام 1928، مما أدى إلى وفاة ما يقرب من 500 شخص يستكشف الكتاب تطور التكنولوجيا والحاجة إلى نموذج شخصي للإدراك للعملية التكنولوجية لتطوير المعرفة الحديثة كأساس لبقاء الإنسان ووحدته في حالة حرب. في 12 مارس 1928، قبل منتصف الليل بقليل، انهار سد سانت فرانسيس، وهو مبنى خرساني شاهق يقع على بعد خمسين ميلاً شمال لوس أنجلوس، فجأة، مما تسبب في فيضانات مدمرة دمرت كل شيء في طريقه. أودى الفيضان بحياة ما يقرب من 500 شخص، لكنه اليوم شبه منسي. مع روايات شهود العيان ومزيج من التاريخ الحضري ودراما الحياة والموت والعمل البوليسي التكنولوجي، يعيد Floodpath إحياء الواقع وراء خيالات لوس أنجلوس نوير مثل الفيلم الكلاسيكي الحي الصيني. في عصر تغير المناخ، والطلب المتزايد على المياه والبنية التحتية الأمريكية المهملة، لم تكن مأساة سد سانت فرانسيس أكثر إلحاحًا أو في الوقت المناسب. الكتاب مخصص لوليام مولهولاند، مهندس علم نفسه بنفسه صمم وبنى سد سانت فرانسيس وكان مسؤولاً عن إنشاء نظام مياه غير مسبوق سمح للوس أنجلوس بأن تصبح ثاني أكبر مدينة في أمريكا.
