China's Three Gorges Dam could collapse (flooding 400M)
- runawaybottle 6y agoChina’s state media maintains that the dam is not at risk of collapse, calling it “rumors hyped by some Western media.” I haven’t really heard much about this in Western media. Is that their goto line for everything?
- NathanKP 6y agoAlso "authorities have evacuated 40,000 locals" yet its also apparently "hyped by some Western media"... classic propaganda double speak
- aaron695 6y ago>China's Three Gorges Dam could collapse (flooding 400M) (ntd.com) This rumour is brought up every year. It's also obviously not going to flood 400m even if collapses as the current editorialised HN title implies. Come back when we have something not from NDT
- raincom 6y agoFacts: (a) water has risen 6 feet above the warning level; (b) satellite images show that dam structure has moved a bit over the years. Disputed issues: (1) "State experts said the dam had moved a few millimeters, but within the normal safety range.";(2)Independent concrete blocks are not connected to the bedrock below, they’re just sitting on top it.
