Assessment date
28 September 2026
Decision reason
The original 9-page IRDR scientific-anatomy report was retrieved. The early account is explicitly a rapid analysis and advances a temporary-blockage hypothesis; it is not proof of a 25 August detachment or an 18–19 hour dam lifetime. Preserve the report as early documentary scientific evidence with those limitations.
