“Bad sensors?”
LOL: Low-bidder. That, or cutting corners & kickbacks.
The trail of kickbacks to CCP leadership in the region should portend a number of “retirements” over this engineering failure (”embarrassment” is what they’ll call it).

Norman Angell wrote a book, published in 1909, titled “The Great Illusion”, arguing that there would never again be another great war in Europe, because “the economic cost of war was so great that no one could possibly hope to gain by starting a war the consequences of which would be so disastrous.”

"On the other hand, if one had a dime every time Freepers hyperventilated about some impending calamity concealed by a conspiracy, one would be rich." Yep... Know what you mean... Thanks for the reminder, Scully...
Smart people know that "real" conspiracies are everywhere around us, but are kept ultra-secret so that only an unfortunate few of us are aware of them...
The truth is out there... So I've heard or read...
Mulder & I will remain vigilant in our pursuit of the truth...

Is “deformed but safe” the Chinese version of “fake but accurate”?

Watched a Aussie weather forecast this morning.
They predict another 200mm of rain for that area by next wed. Thats about 40 inches or so.
I believe that the man upstairs is sick and tired of all the BS over there.

BTW, About two weeks ago I watched a special on the corruption involved in the building of that thing.
They never even dug into solid bedrock before they started pouring the concrete.

Your two images are fake, well at least not accurate. Using Google maps satellite, you see the image on the left, a top satellite view. Click on the 3D tool and the 2nd image appears. The dam is straight. Not saying it will not blow. Just pointing out the fakery of your photos.
