> The report does not say "burst."  It speaks of "breaching."  In other places in the report, it mentions the dam being "removed."  I believe this is a purposeful removal of an obsolete dam.  The rafter who was interviewed had been hired (by whom not stated) to assess silt in the river in relation to the breaching.
