Epicenter a couple hundred miles from 3 Gorges Dam....glad to hear it (at least at this point) the dam wasn’t damaged.

I watched a Modern Marvels special on the 3 Gorges damn project a few months ago and I remember them saying that some engineers were concerned that the huge weight of all the water backed up by the damn may cause earthquakes in that area.

Hopefully this wasn't the start of those fears becoming reality.
