To save the dam from big water I expect the main action would be to open the locks-—assuming Charlie is there to hit the switch?

They’ve always had flooding historically. 3 Gorges was originally supposed to help manage it better, but has instead actually caused more instability.
Eventually everything fails and when this one does - if not able to be properly managed it’ll take out all the cities on that river all the way to the ocean. It’ll be a horrible loss of life.

a couple years ago the 3 gorges dam was being stressed & at that time somebody posted a link here on the forum to watch the dam cracking with all the flood gates open & water really rolling.
IDK where that video link came from or where it went, but it was kinda neat to watch in real time
i hate like crap for anything to happen to the beautiful chinese people but in back on my mind i am thinking if you play God an build a three gorges an it breaks the end result is epic!
