Description

‘A Swift and Deadly Maelstrom’ is the actual story of a horrible tragedy borne out of lack of expertise and complacency. Additionally it is the story, conversely, of life saving heroics, of the efforts of two young men, trapped in the ensuing floodwaters, to rescue three very young children, those that would tragically lose their mother in this disaster. Also, it’s the fascinating account of how this circle of relatives would pull itself back together and how the children’s father and one of that evening’s heroes would therefore and slowly fall apart emotionally and physically over his lifetime. All of this is juxtaposed onto the actual time reportage of how the town would also recuperate and how the families of the six people who would in the long run succumb to the raging dam break were unfairly and unjustly recompensed in the follow up litigation.
