What would happen if Hoover Dam completely gave way? What kind of disaster are we talking?

What would be the effects of an explosion completely tearing away Hoover Dam? How large of an area would be flooded? How many would lose power due to power supply being cut of from this source? What would be all the effects including possible casualties if this ever happened?

Would building a dam across the Strait of Gilbraltar, prevent rising sea levels in the Mediterranean?

I know that thousands of years ago the Mediterranean was naturally dammed by an ice wall (and as a result it evaporated). Building a man-made dam would be technically feasible and excessive evaporation could be avoided by simply opening the dam now and then. Would it help the countries that have a Mediterranean coastline avoid rising sea levels? Would cutting the hotter Medterranean off from the rest of the world’s oceans would also have a cooling effect on the world’s oceans through oceanic currents?
