Brave New World
by Tony Biasotti
Hey Tony,
Very slick! I posted a link to your story over at SciAm’s 60 Second Science project. I’m still trying to figure out how to get Star video embeds to appear on the front page of this site.
Update: Ta da! Got it working on the front page.
[...] around the web late last night, I stumbled on a brief but fascinating video by Tony Biasotti commemorating the infamous St. Francis Dam [...]
Hi, I live just up the canyon of San Fran where the St Francis Dam was. I just love the history and know about what happened. I was told there is a grave site near the bottom of the canyon that has some of the lost people from the flood. Have you heard anything like that? I would like to know just where it is.

I’ll let Tony answer this one. I have no idea.
To Beatrice Buller:
There is a small family cemetery just above the creek about six miles down from the dam site. Here lie some of the victims of the flood. Six members of the Ruiz family are buried there along with other family members of Arrachio and Raggio. The cemetery is usually referred to as the Ruiz cemetery. It is in total disrepair. Ownership of the property is at best questionable. Several years ago a fire swept through the canyon and all of the wooden grave markers were destroyed.
