What could go wrong you ask...? How about an earthquake for starters

Everybody always beating up on human progress. I want to see even bigger and higher dams. Especially in United States. Let's dam the Mississippi - I mean, really dam it. So when hurricane moves into the Gulf, we can just empty out the Mississippi south of St. Louis and let the surge flow upstream. We can divert the Mississippi water out to California where they need the water. We need to build big pipes.
I also want to see more skyscrapers. Higher skyscrapers. NYC is building out several more 1,000+ foot skyscrapers but I want to see higher than 2,000 feet. I want to see skyscrapers on top of skyscrapers. We can do it.

Hopefully they will not use the same people who built these apartment buildings...

What could go wrong you ask...? How about an earthquake for starters The more water impounded behind these 'mega dams', the more force piled on the crust below. This already has caused tremors at seven gorges as the reservoir fills. If there are existing fault lines below the added weight could lead to a dramatic failure. The more dams, the more likely there is trouble down the road.
