The Johnstown Flood (or Great Flood of 1889 as it became known locally) occurred on May 31, 1889. It was the result of the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam situated 14 miles (23 km) upstream of the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, USA, made worse by several days of extremely heavy rainfall. The dam's failure unleashed a torrent of 20 million tons of water (4.8 billion U.S. gallons; 18.2 million cubic meters; 18.2 billion litres).

- 존스타운 홍수는 1889년 5월 31일 펜실베이니아 주 존스타운에서 사우스포크 댐이 붕괴되서 발생한 홍수로, 2,200명 이상이 사망하였다.
- La grande inondazione del 1889, o disastro dell'inondazione di Johnstown, occorse in Pennsylvania USA il 31 maggio 1889. Fu il risultato del cedimento della diga di South Fork situata 23 km a monte della città di Johnstown a seguito di intense piogge cadute a partire dalla giornata precedente. Vennero rilasciate in totale 20 milioni di tonnellate di acqua. La conseguente inondazione causò la morte di 2209 persone e danni per 17 milioni di dollari.

It was the result of the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam situated 14 miles (23 km) upstream of the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, USA, made worse by several days of extremely heavy rainfall. The dam's failure unleashed a torrent of 20 million tons of water (4.8 billion U.S. gallons; 18.2 million cubic meters; 18.2 billion litres). The flood killed more than 2,200 people and caused US$17 million of damage. It was the first major disaster relief effort handled by the new American Red Cross, led by Clara Barton. Support for victims came from all over the United States and 18 foreign countries. After the flood, victims suffered a series of legal defeats in their attempt to recover damages from the dam's owners. Public indignation at that failure prompted a major development in American law—state courts' move from a fault-based regime to strict liability.
- Johnstownin tulva eli vuoden 1889 suuri tulva tapahtui 31. toukokuuta 1889. Pennsylvanian South Forkissa sijainnut pato murtui, minkä lisäksi useita päiviä kestäneet kovat sateet pahensivat tilannetta. 2 200 ihmistä kuoli ja vahingoiksi arvioitiin 17 miljoonaa dollaria. Yli 100 sanomalehteä lähetti kirjeenvaihtajia katastrofialueelle ja tulvasta kärsineet alueet saivat lahjoituksia eri puolilta maailmaa. Clara Bartonin johtama Amerikan Punainen Risti järjesti ensimmäistä kertaa humanitaarista apua suuronnettomuuden uhreille.
- L’inondation de Johnstown de 1889 (connu localement comme Great Flood of 1889) est un événement marquant de l'histoire des États-Unis qui s'est passé le 31 mai 1889. L'inondation fut le résultat de la rupture catastrophique d'un barrage sur la rivière South Fork à 23 kilomètres en amont de la ville de Johnstown (Pennsylvanie), États-Unis après plusieurs jours de pluies abondantes. Plus de 18,2 millions de m d'eau furent alors relâchés, formant un raz-de-marée de plus de 10 mètres de hauteur qui rasa la ville, tua plus de personnes et causa pour plus de 17 millions $US de 1889. Ce fut l'un des premiers désastres majeurs de l'histoire de la Croix-rouge américaine, alors sous la direction de Clara Barton. L'aide aux victimes est venue de partout à travers les États-Unis et de dix-huit autres pays. Bien que l'une des causes majeures de la catastrophe fut le mauvais entretien de la digue par ses propriétaires, les survivants ne purent obtenir réparation devant la cour. Devant le tollé public, les lois sur la responsabilité civile furent changées pour passer d'un système où la victime doit faire la preuve de la négligence du défendant à celui de responsabilité extra contractuelle.
