China has a long history of catastrophic floods. The following link will provide details:

Thanks! Never-the-less, the deformation shown in the dam is an imaging defect. Much less flex in concrete than shown would have resulted in failure.

None of this should be taken to mean floodwaters can't overwash the dam and cause failure.

You are most welcome, FRiend.

I can certainly understand how the photo may have gotten skewed.

Still, considering China’s history, I can also foresee how this flooding could turn very bad indeed.

Lord, send Your mercy upon the Chinese people — and Your justice upon their evil communist rulers!

I have to agree with you on that particular photo.

But somewhere, I have seen photos of the thing from the side looking right down it and it doesnt look good.

There were reports somewhere the other day that they have crews taking laser line shots across it. Now they admit it has “moved” which means its failing.

BTW, that photo posted? The water is blue. If that photo was taken today, the water will be brown.

Got to see a present photo.
