The Three Gorges Dam, like most communist engineering projects, was built with massive corruption and substandard materials.

It is going to fail.

God clearly disapproves of the Chinese Communist Party.

If 3 gorges fails we are talking wrath of God level of destruction.

It’s possible that God is very, very mad at China for planning to rewrite the Bible.

China floods threaten collapse of The Three Gorges Dam, one of the world largest. This article maybe of interest to only a few of you, but if it materializes, in some form or another it may affect all of us.

I came across a mathematical study the other day in reference to the water pressure against the dam walls of the Three Gorges dam which was rather impressive with a conservative estimate of about 25 million tons of pressure. You may find this short movie clip on YouTube by searching for FORCE OF WATER ON CHINA’S 3 GORES DAM WALL.

As far as the stability of this dam is concerned, from time to time I run across the comment that the base of this dam is not anchored to the bedrock beneath, since it is known as a gravity dam. The thought crossed my mind that this may have been done on purpose, why? From what I understand is that this area is subject to frequent quakes and needless to say, should there be a solid connection to the bedrock below it would transfer any motion throughout the whole dam.

With the dam being constructed from individual blocks any severe motion of the ground beneath could place quite a bit of stress on any of the individual sections forcing them to move. This along with the enormous water pressure behind the dam wall, could quite possible expedite the demise of this dam. For this reason I believe, maybe I am wrong, they choose to let the ground slide independently from the structure resting on top.

Either way, I would not feel comfortable or safe living anywhere downstream of this dam, knowing that this dam is holding back a lake approximately 360 miles in length. Not only that, but should this dam give way I would not be surprised to see that it would usher in some big political changes, which would be to the benefit of several neighboring countries including Hong Kong

“Dam authorities tried to reassure residents by saying in state media on July 8 that the reservoir could still hold more rain as it had only reached 149 meters of a maximum of 175 meters that it can contain.”

Because we all know how the Chinese don’t just make it to spec, they also over-engineer for quality.

I’m praying for the dam to hold. I won’t cheer for calamity.

If I can put on my tin foil conspiracy hat, maybe our HAARP weather controller is giving China a little payback.

I’ve been saying the dam would fail since they started building it. All I’ve gotten is crap from everybody. When it goes, I will not care. If I have no authority, I have no responsibility.

“an area of about 600 kilometers”

That’s not a thing.
