"Zipingpu dam"

Well, if you dam up pu long enough, it may come ziping along at unexpected moments.

I always wonder about this when I read or see an article about the Three Gorges Dam. What happens when the gorges are full and a temblor hits?

“The 7.9 magnitude quake struck last May and left more than five million people homeless. It remains a raw and emotional topic for most Chinese, and the government has been quick to quash any suggestion that Zipingpu may have been responsible for the catastrophe. Researchers have been denied access to seismological and geological data to examine the earthquake further.”

“Zipingpu is only one of nearly 400 hydroelectric dams in the earthquake zone. Mr Fan said the government had been warned of the danger of building so many large-scale projects in a seismically active area, but that the warnings had gone unheeded.”

Well, well, well.

Zipingpu dam!!??

I certainly wouldn’t want to be downstream from the zipping poo dam . . . . . . er, Zipingpu.

[nuf said]

Bush’s fault.

[decimon]

Let’s use some infrastructure money to build a dam at Yellowstone.

[OpeEdMunkey]

Obviously Bush and Cheney have sold their hurricane machine to the Chinese - who failing to read the directions ran it backwards.

Hillary took a trip to China and stepped off the plane?

The filling of Kariba Dam in then-Rhodesia caused a 5.5 magnitude quake in 1957.

The new Diamond Valley Resevoir and Dam in Riverside County was built to withstand a moderate magnitude quake expected upon its filling (if didn't happen).
