Unknown Fatality attempting dam repair - West Bengal, India

[Pearlman]

Only dam to correspond to location is Teesta Low 3 dam, height 32 m

That’s what I thought. Looks like a case of Delta-P and zero training procedures and preparedness for it…

Unfortunate and sad…

working at a depth of about 300 meters

Wikipedia says the dam is 177'/54m high. Maybe someone tried to convert from feet to meters by multiplying rather than dividing? 300m is, um, "pretty deep" for scuba. That's well into JIM suit territory.

When in doubt, Google it!

32 m is enough. Heck, 3 m is enough.

Parker Dam at 320 feet is the deepest dam in the world. Something amiss in this article.
