Talk:1972 Black Hills flood

'Victims' section is poorly summarized

[edit]

Entire section seems so copy/pasted out of news articles/websites that it borders on plagiarism.

"14 of the deaths were trained professionals."

[edit]

Trained in dying? Certified public accountants? Skydiving instructors? The reference link is broken so I guess the world will never know... 98.232.26.108 (talk) 16:16, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

From https://rapidcityjournal.com/flood/rapid-city-officials-remember-flood-deaths-city-response/article_1a008c7e-bb22-5392-be92-a1f97f7f9f46.html “Three Rapid City firefighters died June 9”... “Col. Mark Weatherington, wing commander at Ellsworth Air Force Base, told the stories of seven airmen who died in flood rescue efforts.”... “One police reserve officer died in flood rescue efforts”... “South Dakota National Guard members were training in the Badlands and Rapid City June 9 and also helped with rescue and recovery. Three Guard members died.”... (3+7+1+3=14)... I’m not sure I’m even making this talk page edit correctly, so sure as heck am not going to try to edit the article. If someone sees this and cares to either update the link in the article or spell out in detail the organizations of the rescuers who died, that’d be nice. 2001:48F8:9007:358:CCB5:8181:C4CF:BCF7 (talk) 05:27, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
