A ROYAL Air Force Chinook helicopter dropped sacks of ballast yesterday on to the outer slope of a dam that had partially collapsed and is at risk of bursting and flooding the town of Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire, UK. British police ordered the evacuation of the town of 6 500 people over fears that the rain-damaged wall could collapse. | PA via AP
