| Anonymous Coward User ID: 3162115 United States10/12/2011 08:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is the link......... Quoting: Mulletman [link to pprnnews.com] Here is a snippet........ There exists a potential that thousands of people will die and millions more without power, and the US Government doesn’t care. There are news agencies that know about this and won’t tell you. Well then, let me tell you. It started right after the Fukishima Earthquake in March of 2011. I went to the USGS Event Notification Service and told them I wanted to be emailed at every quake that registered greater than 2.0 within the United States. So I start receiving notifications, over 5,000 so far since then. But there is a fly in the ointment. Arizona. From the date I started collecting earthquake information until Sept 28, there have 66 2.0 movements near Hoover Dam. Well, that is interesting. |

It's overbuilt by a factor of 200. If an entire battalian of army engineers and artillery were to set to destroying the dam, it would take weeks. Keep in mind just how much cement there is in this sucker. [link to www.usbr.gov] Look at how the face of the dam slopes. This is because it's solid concrete and much thicker at the bottom. Even if demolition experts were set to destroying it, they'd need a nuke to produce a breech. Ordinary explosives, in say truckload sizes, would do no more than plink little chips off it. You'd never produce a catastrophic failure, but only gradually more and more leaking over the gradually eroding top. Socks I saw an "after humans" documentary the other day that said hoover dam and the pyramids will be evidence of past life on Earth long after everything else is gone. |

Have to agree with this, they built that dam thing right. Too bad the nuclear reactors weren't so over built. Of course, if there was something that pulled the cliff faces a few feet apart, that would be another story, but aliens buying me a few beers before a wild and crazy night might happen first. Not saying it wouldn't be a seriously bad thing if the Hoover dam went, just that there are many dams, reactors, and other such things that are far more likely to go, way before it does. Ps: To the aliens, I prefer darker beers and gin martinis. Also, please be gentle, it's my first time. |

Again, what force/method was used to pulverize the WTC steel structures? The same force/method could destroy the dam no doubt. |
