Parked automobiles and vans are dwarfed by the inlet pipes at the bottom of the Baldwin Hills Reservoir just days after the dam broke. A row of sandbags sit in front of the enormous break and construction workers are busy with cleanup. A surveyor has his equipment set up at the edge of the break. Dated December 20, 1963.Video:
