:02:01
We caught on a tree,
:02:03
and my father-in-law
:02:07
lost his footing
and asked me to grab the girl.
:02:10
I grabber her, but slipped,
and the little girl went.
:02:16
Shortly after that
the little boy he went,
:02:21
and soon after that my wife,
father-in-law and the baby,
:02:27
they went too.
:02:29
The three children
that were lost,
:02:32
their ages, the oldest was six,
and the middle one was four
:02:38
and the baby was three.
:02:40
They haven't found the baby
and the oldest boy yet.
:02:45
The little girl we have
and that's all.
:02:50
To stop the devastation,
the waste,
:02:53
the loss of life caused by
the Tennessee River at flood,
:02:57
the Congress of the United States,
on May 18th 1933,
:03:01
created a vast new agency called
The Tennessee Valley Authority,
:03:06
or TVA,
:03:09
and authorised it to build
a series of dams along the river.
:03:16
At the same time,
the Tennessee Valley authority
:03:18
had to buy all the land
along the shore of the river
:03:22
and all its islands.
:03:25
Some people had lived on
this land for generations.
:03:29
Some people refused to sell,
under any persuasion whatsoever.
