Burst, broke, breached, blowed up, dee-stroyed...  All I want to know,
Alistair, is if there is any more room on your butt for me to ride, too.
  If you have to throw any of these other nit-pickers off, I can wait
until next Frydae.  Back to making pizza.

>> 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.
