"That dam is at the confluence of 3 large rivers."

The "Three Gorges Dam", which some have described as the biggest environmental travesty in the history of environmental travesties. There are grave concerns, and not just from enviro wack-jobs, that the dam could have some long-term impact that will take a century, or longer to recover from. And, if it were to give way, the catastrophe would be unimaginable with respect to human life lost - probably without equal for a natural or man-made disaster.

It’s very sad to see that. I mean, what California has built in the last 70 years? Cow Palace? Not mentioning spending 20 years to fix a shaky Bay Bridge? Do Americans know that China has build over 50 bridges of such size in the last 10 years?

What a joke!

I say the dam will be the greatest engineering marvel in human history and the biggest disaster at the same time.
