When the dam breaks, what goes with it ? Lots of lives. Wuhan industry. US pharma supplies ? Xi Jinping ?

What else in your studied estimation ?

Good point....I don’t recall the media having yet announced their VP choice.

Whomever Obie says is OK with them.

The 100 year old earthen dam that failed in Michigan, washed out part of a dam downstream (but didn't destroy it) had inadequate sluices. They didn't open high enough. Part of the problem was design, and part deterioration of the valves. The dam filled almost to the top but never overtopped, but the earthen portions were too stressed to hold.

SImilarly the 3G dam probably has a maximum fill above which some portion, perhaps earthen beside the dam, would get too stressed and fail. There may be a spillway in addition to the sluices. My definition is the sluices open and close and the spillway simply spills. The Wikipedia article does not give a reference for spillway capacity. It does say

"Days after the first filling of the reservoir, around 80 hairline cracks were observed in the dam's structure.[145][146][147] The submerged spillway gates of the dam might pose a risk of cavitation, similar to that which severely damaged the poorly designed and cavitating spillways of the Glen Canyon Dam in the US state of Arizona, which was unable to properly withstand the Colorado river floods of 1983.[148]"

They are loose with terminology but they mean sluices. You can see the tremendous pressure as the water ejects from those sluices. A cavitation flaw would promote turbulence within the sluices and subject some portion to excess force. We don't really know if the sluices open fully (they knew in Michigan but ignored the problem). We don't know if they are all functional.

The Michigan dam had a spillway along with the sluices but it was inadequate (they knew that too). It would be very interesting if we saw actual spillway action at 3G. I think as long as the water is coming through the sluices, and not over the top of the center portion (which might be spillway), I believe the dam is acting as designed. Doesn't mean the design is safe or it was built properly. The main unknown besides the corruption you pointed out, is if Wikipedia (which lies all the time) is referring to total spillway including over-the-top or just sluices. If just sluices, their number is almost double in the inflow. That seems adequate to me.

Wow.................he has drunk the kool-aid as well!
Dr. Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary for health who coordinates the administration’s coronavirus testing was on Meet the Depressed.
He said “ most physicians and prescribers are evidence-based and they’re not influenced by whatever is on Twitter or anything else. And the evidence just does not show hydroxychloroquine is effective right now,” he said.

“We need to move on from that and talk about what is effective,” he added, pointing to public hygiene measures like hand-washing and mask-wearing, as well as treatments like the drug remdesivir and steroids.

Large parts of the downstream from the Three Gorges are portrayed as the breadbasket for China with a lot of food grown there. Shanghai alone is a huge city as are other cities all in jeopardy. Shipping is crucial. The Yangtze was big enough for ships to sail far up its reaches bringing all kinds of goods to people and sending back all kinds of stuff on the return. If all that is shut off as it looks like it could be it will be a huge disaster for the country.

Also Three gorges is one of the largest hydroelectirc plants anywhere producing power for millions.Without that it has to stress other Chinese power stations that are also in danger. Over 60 nuke plants down stream. It's a really big deal even worldwide when you think about it.

Looks like the ten year ban on fishing in the Yangteze River will be continued as well. Seems they netted the river to death it was so bad. Fish as small as an inch were netted or shocked near the end. All in all its a huge historical event now unfolding.

I’ll be anxious to see how the shockwave affects the rest of the world, but also how it might weaken China....their economy, their military which would be good since we’re all worried about their goal for world dominance. It can’t help.

It would likely force the world to find other suppliers of all types of important goods....which would also weaken the CCP.

Mother Nature rules.

Very interesting article here with many references to the disgraceful Nadler show with Barr:

We Are Reclaiming Our Time

https://stream.org/we-are-reclaiming-our-time/

Excerpt:

America isn’t magic. It might be exceptional, but it’s not immune to principalities and powers, of the kind that plunged France into Hell in 1789, Germany in 1933, and Cambodia in 1975. The last time the Democrats and the religious left got together, they produced the Rev. Jim Jones’ colony in Guyana. Imagine that on a vast, continental scale, in 2021.

The most astonishing moments at the Barr hearing came when the members of Congress would pose him questions, then halt his answers with the rote phrase, “I am reclaiming my time.”

We must reclaim our time for Christ, for our ancestors who built an imperfect but deeply decent country, and our descendants who deserve somewhere better to live than a huge, nuclear-armed Venezuela.

I think,from what I have read, the pressure on the dam may increase over the next week to ten days. After that who knows it will most likely depend on rain events until the rainy season ends in Oct as to the fate of the dam. If more sluices are opened up it has to effect downstream flooding. Flooding has already been a huge problem.To make it worse is almost unthinkable but there may not be an alternative.

The bigger question is will the Three Gorges Dam absorb the added pressure as more water accumulates? I doubt anyone knows the answer to that. Also, if the dam does go I was told that there will be all kinds of indications as much as a day or even day and a half before it goes.Lots of strange noises and other indications its about to go.

You gotta also wonder if there is any cavitation going on since from the time the dam was built there were at least 80 cracks in the concrete.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v98omCq1kRA

This short video explains what can happen with to much cavitation.

The CCP is blowing up other dams in the region to lower the pressure on the three gorges,accd. to Breitbart that could save the day but it's hard to say,so much is going on all at once. 6 quakes hit China in 2 days; Three Gorges Dam hit its limit: experts; up to 5.1 could really screw up the dam. Is there a link between dams and earthquakes,hard to say:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/a-link-between-dams-and-earthquakes-4305816/

The earth is big, and so are the tectonic plates—it doesn’t seem possible that anything humans could do to the earth would have an effect on those immense plates. But evidence is mounting that we cause earthquakes.

I listened in fascination to a presentation from earthquake scientist Christian Klose at the 2006 American Geophysical Union fall meeting in which he showed how coal mining was responsible for earthquakes, including the most-damaging ever in Australia. (The 5.6-magnitude Newcastle earthquake of 1989, though relatively small by international comparison, killed 13 people.) The removal of coal, rock and, especially, water from underground can cause enough stress to trigger an earthquake, Klose said. Other potential earthquake triggers he mentioned were oil and gas extraction, creation of reservoirs behind dams and, he conjectured, sequestering carbon dioxide underground.

Now Science reports that Klose is one of several scientists who are pondering the possibility that last May’s 7.9-magnitude earthquake in China’s Sichuan Province, which left 80,000 dead, could also have had a man-made trigger, this time in the form of the Zipingpu Dam. Then the magnitude-7.9 Wenchuan earthquake struck, many scientists wondered if a reservoir was to blame. Ruling out the much-maligned Three Gorges Dam as too distant.

Hard to say we really don’t know just how much in the way of resources the CCP will put into the region if the dam does go.They may concentrate on other areas of the world or in China and let 400 million go their own way hard to tell.They have no real value of human life only the party and power.
Over the past few years the chicoms have become the bullies of the world.I don’t see that changing any time soon.

Interesting article:

Three Gorges Dam deformed but safe, say operators

In a rare revelation, Beijing has admitted that its 2.4-kilometer Three Gorges Dam spanning the Yangtze River in Hubei province “deformed slightly” after record flooding.

Wang Hao, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an authority on hydraulics who sits on the Ministry of Water Resources’ Yangtze River Administration Commission, has also assured that the dam is sound enough to withstand the impact from floods twice the mass flow rate recorded on Saturday.

Still, Wang’s remarks stoked a volley of mockery after he said the flooding could be a good thing as the dam would only become more rigid the longer it was steeped up to its top.

That paragon of virtue...Mitt Romney has also spoken out in favor of mail in voting.


Ill gladly fill out a mail in ballot to remove my vote for Mitt during his presidential run.

I’m sure he’d agree to that form of voting Ha Ha...

Agree. He was tanned/sprayed/hair dyed and had the presence of true evil

Donna Brazile is the woman who gave the debate questions to Hillary - she's a democrat operative. In short the 'born on third - thinks he hit a triple CHRIS WALLACE - DID NOT HAVE ONE PERSON ON HIS 'PANEL' TO REPRESENT HALF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHAT A CREEPY PUTZ... FOXNews Sucks.
