Careful. The first picture is from 2013 as indicated by the banner.
No, that was plagiarized. The original Yellow River was written by I.P. Daley.

As we advance further into he 3600 year cyclical event......these are just some of the things which come along with it!
China floods threaten collapse of world’s largest dam: The Three Gorges Dam
The following maybe of interest only to some of you. Should it happen the repercussions in some form or another 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 beneath 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. 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 let alone Hong Kong
I highly suggest to watch the following movie clip on youtube titled
(THREE GORGES DAM) SHOCKING CONVERSATION FROM CHINA DAM EXPERTS
I hope they meant CUBIC METERS/SECOND; otherwise this doesn’t make any sense at all.
But then again any JOURNALIST WILL TELL YOU “MATH IS HARD”.
;)
5th MEB
Wonder what that is in parsecs?
Oops, the article said 55 thousand m^2 and 600 thousand ft^2, not million. Oh well, the ratio is still the same.
What news source is your favorite for this story?
Should attract plenty of western tourists, floating on junk gondolas, seeking exotic thrills.
Interesting.....
I also read that the Dam having to withstand drought and then monsoon,( back and forth every year), on the structure caused concerns.
911 I’ll say.
Is this the 6th 8th or 10th floor?

I don’t know.....but Bloomberg reported China’s blowing up dams......haven’t seen anything on it yet but looking further.

The whole idea behind building this dam was to keep the water level more constant in order to prevent such enormous fluctuations. But what you may or may not know is that more recently the weather has gone rather crazy, too much snow or water in one place and droughts in another, or unusual high temperatures where it normally freezes, or the other way around along with an increase of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. All due because once again we have been entering another repetitive 3600 year cyclical event and we are just at the beginning of it. Probably something the Chinese never took into account and now all this extra water will test this dam. If it will hold is anyone’s guess and looking at some satellite shots several years apart shows that the dam already shows some distortions, probably caused by individual movements of blocks of the dam.
