The irony is, if you model the history of floods and do stochastic analysis on their ocurrence, you find that they occur much more frequently than the "100 year" average ocurrence that dams are sized for, because gaussian theory falls apart for rare events. Assuming the bankers use the same stochastic models for their risk management that are used in engineering, they could have the same history as we have with burst dams.
