I don't consider IP responsible for maintaining an abandoned dam. I doubt they could have built a dam high enough to hold all that water. I don't see where IP should be considered responsible for telling people that building alongside a creek is risky. I feel sorry for those who suffered, but that doesn't automatically make anyone else at fault. David for the uncommon thing called "common sense" REGARDING:

If IP no longer needed the damn/ levee system why did they not return the creek to its original flow. If they built it then it makes them negligent if they don’t maintain. It’s ridiculous to think they shouldn’t be responsible for what all those people went through that night. IP Should just pay the people for there loses and be thanking God that no one died that night. For anyone who thinks IP is not responsible just think of this.
