    Looks like it already collapsed and caused massive flooding. I could never live there let alone take a vacation, just too many people

    Look what city is down stream from the dam. Think this might be an issue? What else from that lab can cause a serious health crisis.

    Don't think the dam will let go but with all the overflow they are still flooding everything down stream. Just a slow drowning death instead of one big wash out.

    Since it doesn't fit the narrative/propaganda, I don't suspect many fact checked...

    That's not a 'Dam', it's a 70 year old retaining levee on a river,
    It's a LONG WAY from the 3 Gorges dam project, in age, scale and location.

    You can see that sort of thing along any US waterway where there is flooding, simply retaining walls & levees failing, since the infrastructure of the US is even older and in worse shape... And the reason I built well out of a flood plain even if all dams failed on the river I live 800 yards from.
    I can't trust the government to do the 'Right' thing and spend a little less giving grants and tax breaks to big business, spend a little on infrastructure...
    OR,
    To restrict building in flood plains where unsuspecting people can die...

    I just chose to NOT be one of the unsuspecting... (Education eradicates ignorance)

    Google 3 gorges dam before and after. Was a straight line, now not so much. I'd post a link but my skills have not yet nor will they ever get any better.

    I am sure China will do everything it can to protect Wuhan so that when the WHO runs out of money and decides to conduct a real investigation into COVID all the evidence will be preserved.

    They are having a problem with flooding. Saturday they shored up some retaining walls. They're releasing water from the dam to alleviate flooding. Yesterday they blew this dam to let river water go into storage ponds.
