The 32-foot-high (10-meter-high) dam, which was holding back around 70 million cubic feet (2 million cubic meters) of water at the Pesanggrahan river, was built up to a century ago, while Indonesia was still under Dutch colonial rule. Some said heavy rains caused the dam to first overflow and then, because the foundation was not made of concrete, to burst.
