I'd hate to see what would happen if, for instance, at Guntersville Dam one of the old metal intake gates broke free, was sucked into the pitcock and then into the turbine wheel or some other monstrous damage.

The flooding would be unbelieveable and tragic. Those dams are 70-plus years old. I hope the bolts and grates have been replaced since construction or they check on them regularly.
