Initially that dam was a classic engineering disaster. Then they fixed it but not before the February 2017 disaster. Even the spillways were poor design. The evacuation was like 180,000 people. Like most poor engineering design they fixed it. :)

They got lucky. That emergency spillway was right on the edge of total failure after the main spillway failed.
