San Pedro River
San Pedro River, seen from the Malihue bridge near Los Lagos, Chile. In May 1960, the river was dammed in this area by landslides triggered by the 9.5 magnitude Great Valdivia Earthquake. The dam was then artificially lowered to avoid catastrophic failure, but the resulting, controlled flood still had considerable destructive power.
