I imagine the video is from the downstram side of the dam as the flood gates are opened to relieve the stress on the dam.

They have been saying this for years. There are some great documentaries out there on it. If it goes, it’s gonna be a mess.

During the Gret Leap Forward, the communists decided that China would become a leader in steel production. They went with municipal steel plants at the village level, and then told everyone how much steel to produce to meet the goal. When the proletariat workers weren’t able to smelt raw iron ore in the quantities needed, they melted down all their tools, their hammers, shovels, rakes and hoes. This is how communism works. If they say build the world’s biggest dam, you basically build the biggest dam.

I like to say, and this is original me, that the Chinese are really good at making things that look just like the real thing, so close that you can actually use them as the real thing for a short time, When it stops working is when you fnd out that the tool set you bought is actually a real working replica tool set. I think they built a real working replica of the world’s biggest dam.

re: “The consultants noted poor concrete quality and insufficient rebar supports. The Chinese then kicked the consultants out and called them racist. “
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gee! Poor construction? Competent consultants are racist?

That’s what the Demon-cRats would do. That’s what they will do if elected. The Katrina levies are **proof **of that!

The dam is China’s strategic achilles heel in case of war.

They better start building a huge arc and start selecting seats in it for privileged communist leaders.

I thought they would be too busy Torturing Dogs to death at their “Obama” Dog Meat Extravaganza to notice a problem with their Dam.

I assume it was built as well as the Soviet Union built the Containment Dome at Chernobyl. Oh wait, they didn’t need one of those silly Containment Domes. A Tin Shed did the job.

I think the estimate is 60M dead if the dam suddenly collapses. Something that India, no doubt, knows too.

I dunno, it seems pretty sound to me.

Maybe a closer look .... just zoom in a little...

Oh. Aw geez. Well then. I'd suggest residents start running from the area immediately.

Made in China with interior products, like everything else they manufacture.

I remember reading about the rolled concrete construction of this dam in Engineering and Mining Journal back in mid ‘80s.

The volume of concrete used is mind boggling.
