The vajont dam disaster is a fantastic example of why we need to think for ourselves. The dam was one of the largest dams in the world at the time, built in Italy. Before construction head even commenced, they were already questions about the safety of the dam. Journalists who questioned the construction of the dam were sued by the government. Experts who question the construction of the dam were silenced.
And at first, everything was fine. But then, the exact scenario that everyone was worried about happened. Entire villages were wiped off the map. 80% of the population of those villages died within the first 15 minutes of the disaster.
