WJAC Remembers 1977 Johnstown Flood

WJAC-TV broadcast a special on the 1977 Johnstown Flood last week and I checked it out this weekend. Some incredible video footage, along with some really sad stories about those we lost.

Shown is a view of Main Street in downtown Johnstown, Pa., on July 20, 1977, after floodwaters began to recede. The flood left 85 people dead, affected more than 7,300 families in seven counties and destroyed homes, businesses, dams, roads and bridges.(AP Photo, File)

They are selling the special on DVD (benefits JAHA), and they have put up a comprehensive website with a lot of photos, videos and stories.
