I offer this image of Hoover Dam on May 1, 1996. On that day, a 505 foot by 255 foot American flag was flown from the downstream face of Hoover Dam. The flag itself weighed 3,000 pounds, and was hoisted by 3 separate cables located at the top of the dam. The flying of the flag was part of a ceremony in which the 1996 Summer Olympic torch was carried across Hoover Dam. The photograph is a vertical view taken downstream from the dam.
