Gruesome revelation
Aside from the novelty and excitement surrounding the draining, something horrifying was discovered that year on the riverbed of the American Falls. On the riverbed, observers saw two sets of remains of a man and a woman. Their fate lay enclosed somewhere in the terrifying waters of the waterfall.
According to today’s reports, the deceased man had jumped into the channel upstream of American Falls the day before it was drained. At the time, employees initially assumed that he had been part of the official operation. When the young man, dressed in green pants and a similarly colored shirt, plunged into the current, the observers realized that something was not right.
