RE: If that dam goes, it’s gonna affect the whole world, bigly.

Despite many FReepers wishing it were so, I believe the Dam has been engineered to withstand this kind of flooding.

According to a source in the USACE, the damn is not in trouble.

[cuban leaf]

I suspect you are right.

All depends on how you define failure in an engineering design.

I usual define it as the design is not functioning as it was designed.

For instance, an engine may still run but burn lots of oil = failure

The dam has already moved and has major cracks.

High Hopes

Songwriters: J. Van Heusen / S. Cahn

Next time your found
With your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned
So look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant

But he’s got high hopes
He’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie
In the sky hopes

So any time your gettin’ low
‘Stead of lettin’ go
Just remember that ant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call
And your back’s to the wall
There a lot to be learned
That wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he’d punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin’ that dam

‘Cause he had high hopes
He had high hopes
He had high apple pie
In the sky hopes
So any time your feelin’ bad
‘Stead of feelin’ sad
Just remember that ram

Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They’ll be bursted soon
They’re just bound to go pop

Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Oops, there goes another problem kerplop, kerplop

That may be true, but did the construction companies paying the big kick-backs for the business build it to specifications?

Despite many FReepers wishing it were so, I believe the Dam has been engineered to withstand this kind of flooding.

It’s made in China.

There not much precedent for high quality items.

Besides, there’s only so much man made can withstand against nature.

[2CAVTrooper]

The key word is engineered.

But in china shoddy materials and construction rule the day.
