The day Niagara Falls ran dry: Newly-discovered photos show the moment the iconic waterfall came to a standstill

It's taken 41 years, but a previously unseen set of photos of the mighty Niagara Falls reduced to nothing more than a barren cliff-top have finally surfaced.
The stark images reveal North America's iconic - and most powerful - waterfall to be almost as dry as a desert.
In June 1969, U.S. engineers diverted the flow of the Niagara River away from the American side of the falls for several months.

I know exactly where I was and what I was doing every month of 1969. How could I possibly have missed this event, or is part of my long term memory going the way of my short term....????

It's amazing that there aren't many photographs of this event. Not even in the print news archives.....surely they would have documented it and photos available for decades.
