Three Gorges Dam


Dunno if this is urban legend or not, but there was a story that during the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a flight of Israeli jets flew over Egypt and tossed paint bombs on the Aswan High Dam to send a message to where if things get really bad, Israel can blow up the dam and launch a huge flood on the Nile.
