This day in history: For the first time in history, part of Niagara Falls was "turned off" on this day in 1969, as a cofferdam was put in place behind the American Falls portion of the U.S. and Canadian waterfall. Horseshoe Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls continued to flow without interruption, but the American Falls were allowed to run dry. For the next five months and 13 days, repairs were made to prevent erosion of the riverbed and tourists were allowed to walk across part of the area where the river had run its course. The dam would be removed on November 25 and all three portions of Niagara Falls have flowed continuously since then.
During the process, two skeletons were found...and thousands of coins.
