That meant little or nothing to me, as I didn't have the necessary
background. So, I took it as a search term.

One of the writeups on that disaster had this to say:

---------------

In 1995, geological engineer J. David Rogers concluded in his book,
The St. Francis Dam Disaster Revisited, that the dam had been
partially built on an ancient landslide site, which shifted under the
massive weight of the dam. Said Rogers in an interview with the L.A.
Times, "Considering the technology available at the time, there was no
way he [Mulholland] or any of the people working for him would have
known about this gigantic landslide."
