Note(s); Each of the above sources applies a unique numbering scheme when describing the various attempts to dam the Lower Mexican Heading, making the sequence of events and even the events themselves a bit confusing. Some sources even forgo noting the number of attempts and simply document that they occurred. In order to clarify and set the record straight, details of all the attempts have been culled from each of the sources (including photographic evidence), compared and cross referenced, with errors noted and corrected. It is summarized here, Attempts to Dam and Close the Lower Mexican Intake in the most accurate, precise description events available anywhere.
May - Jun is Attempt #3 at Location #2
