Twilight descends on Chimney Rock, a 325-foot (100-meter) geological formation in Nebraska"s North Platte River valley.

The Panama Canal 巴拿马运河-9

A ship canal, about 82 km (51 mi) long, crossing the Isthmus of Panama in the Canal Zone and connecting the Caribbean Sea with the Pacific Ocean. It was begun by the French in 1881. The United States gained construction rights after Panama declared its independence in 1903, and the canal was opened to traffic on August 15, 1914.

We can now get the dirt out of here. So when it rains, it"s not gonna go back into the trench. We not only speed up the work, we reduce the risk of mudslides.

Thousands of labors flocked to Panama attracted by the high wages on offer. The Americans were now excavating more in a day than the French did in a month. Work on the canal had been industrialized.

Stevens had barely begun when the great scare descended on Panama. Terrified workers fled from the most virulent outbreak yet of yellow fever. American hopes rested on Dr. William Gorgas."

"It is one thing to lose the life of a human being in battle. A soldier is prepared to give his life for our cause. But when one has the ability to defeat the enemy and prevent the loss of life, every death is a waste."

While many believed the tropical diseases were spread on the air or even caused by immoral behavior, Gorgas had a striking new idea.

"I knew that my challenge was not to clean up the filth in the cities, but rather to defeat the enemy here, where millions of predators were simply waiting for a human feast to arrive."

Gorgas believed the real culprit was the mosquito.

"Friends said to me, "How do you stop the propagation of the mosquito, when the whole country is the breeding ground?""

Panama was a mosquito paradise. The heat and humidity allowed constant breeding.

Gorgas would need an army of workers to combat this tiny enemy. But the authorities in Washington refused to divert resources from digging to fly swatting. Gorgas turned to John Stevens who faced the dilemma, a third of his men were sick, but the instructions from Washington were to make the dirt fly.
