Video: Lookout Point Dam intureder @ 01:34 on March 2, 2011
A $1,000 reward is up for grabs to identify this man who scaled a barb-wire fence at Point Lookout Dam southeast of Eugene and illegally entered. He's seen taking pictures of the area. Authorities are concerned about his intentions. The US Army Corps of Engineers has released a flier and surveillance video with hopes of identifying this man and questioning him. Call (866) 413-7970. You can remain anonymous.

Hmmmm,
Not to stereotype or anything but the first thing that came to my mind was a young Joe Bubba guy doing it on a dare/"told ya' I could do it" kinda' stunt.
He might live to regret it as it appears he has a pretty trendy hair cut that might ID him.
Someone was obviously panning, scanning and zooming the camera on this guy ..... How far away were the police? The camera operator had to, or was having someone else call the PD. This guy looked like he was there for awhile, so I'm sure they could have gotten him had they been alerted.
Also, to have such a "production" of the surveillance tape .... music, special FX, ect ....
Something smells fishy ......

Looks like the guy from "Friends". Must not be getting enough attention lately.

Sir -
1am Wednesday morning… I suspect that the very few on duty Lane County and OSP LEO’s within 50 miles of the dam were probably occupied with more pressing issues at the time.
If the young man had company or something more than a camera, perhaps the call would have been bumped up.
Also, SCADA monitoring of such facilities is not uncommon. I wouldn’t be surprised if the monitoring was done from the Portland District Office.
The dam is 15 – 20 miles east of I-5 (188A)

Chris, you are on target on both counts.
The local rumors around the LE community today is that they've identified the kid.

Interesting stuff. This is a security concern for some real reasons.
This stuff has been printed in news (open source public knowledge...now) so short version...
Think of a string of dams built on a single river coming out of a mountain area.
If an upper dam should fail, the lower dams couldn't hold.
The Oregon State trooper doing the security assessment for Lookout Point Dam stopped in here after he was done up there.
The Corps has it under control. :rolleyes:

I heard rumor janet napolitano & Homeland Security will be sending a Special Forces Group to secure the Dam against bubba.:munchin

Beaver dams, maybe - modern dams are designed and built with 'overflow' mechanisms to prevent just such a scenario.

VERY COOL!
I've already located your new Team Room, The Dexter lake Club is right across from the dam.
In the movie "Animal House" this is where Otis day and the Knights performed.

The SEALS are busy hunting bubba as bubba is now on their HVT List. (High Value Target)
With Homeland Security in charge should take about 10-15 years to capture or (kill) bubba.:munchin

There is more to this story.
Yes the concrete portions are designed for over flow. This isn't the problem.

This one hits home. I can't say much since the case is still pending. Surveillance and communications in regard to one of several dams I am responsible for led to our arrest of suspect(s) in my area. I don't like any of it.

I've also heard the "Teleprompter Reader of the United States " has been briefed concerning this breach of National Security.
Homeland Security has issued a statement that all camo wearing bubba's are now considered a threat to National Security and that all camo clothing will be outlawed for sale to the general public.
The threat level has been raised to "Megenta" by Homeland Security.

Good Evening Mr. Harsey-
Has Hills Creek Reservoir entered into the local dialog on this issue?
Too bad the camera system wasn't rigged to grab pictures of license plates or other good vidoe of the approach roads.
My thought when I saw it: An eco nut, trying to decide how to make a statement of some kind over the damming of the river.

My thoughts when I saw it, bubba has been tracking this 14 point whitetail for the last three years and he's wondering how the hell it managed to cross the dam and jump the fence.
Bubba is taking pictures and making maps of where to place a salt block or a feeder.:rolleyes:
Dams are "hard" targets, this guy has already demonstrated the fact he doesn't possess the brains to defeat a "hard" target.
Any paint-baller, ninja re-enacting, black ops gamer, mall-rat type would have face paint or mask..
This guy is clueless and will not make level 0, game over..

Spent 4 years moonlighting working security at the Glen Canyon Dam.
This tended to be the kind of thing which drew concern.
We weren't to worried about someone damaging a structure made of 10 million tons of concrete.
We were worried about some idiot who thought he could damage it.
There was a group who use to show up every year and protest the existence of the dam.
After their protest, they'd go play on the lake for a few days. :rolleyes:

Not this time, but I'm not read on most of this stuff now.
Many years ago I worked a summer in this region, welding for the Corps but still know some of the managers.
