dont they have a millionman army? for god sakes get the buggers out there with the superglue!
ps. this is gonna really screw up walmart shipments. Quoting: Insomnia
Save the glue, with that many people, they can take turns putting their fingers into the cracks.
BTW, walmart shipmenst are already being screwed up, a mass of chinese companies got together and they're not accepting US dollars from walmart (and others) anymore. They want euros. Obviously, it's only a matter of time before walmart and other retailers start buying goods elsewhere. After all, it's no good having a huge population of slave labor, if you can't get slavery prices on your stuff!
Be offended. It's my gift to you.

Get a load of this :
"The flow of the Jialing River has been effectively blocked in Huixian county, in southeastern Gansu, by landslides. Rubble created a dam holding back 600,000cum of water."

That's an extreme amount of pressure for that to hold and given their current state of technology, I don't give it much of a chance if there is another large aftershock in that area.
Does this seem like a doom movie script that's playing out or what??? |

over 300 dams damaged and now talk of damage at nuke plants
this is getting real bad real fast...........
===========================
[link to www.timesonline.co.uk]
If the Zipingpu Dam were to collapse, torrents of water would surge downriver into some of the areas where more than 42,000 people are reported dead or missing.
Rescuers finally reached some the worst hit of those areas in the Sichuan province today. The official death toll now stands at 14,866, but while the army and emergency workers battle to reach isolated areas and scour mile after mile of rubble, the scale of the disaster continues to rise.
==================
Chengyun, the vice governor of Sichuan, told the official Xinhua news agency that almost 26,000 people were buried in collapsed buildings and a further 1,451 were missing in his province alone.
Damage done to roads and communication lines meant that soldiers arrived in Wenchuan county, the epicentre of the quake, for the first time today after a two-day hike through the ravaged region.
When they reached the city of Yingxiu, rescuers found it "much worse than expected". Of the town’s population of about 10,000, it is thought that only 2,300 survived and 1,000 of those were badly hurt.
Troops have been sent to the Zipingpu Dam to ensure that further infrastructure collapse does not leave the region engulfed in water just as officials had begun to re-open some of transport routes.
He Biao, the director of the Aba Disaster Relief headquarters, said: "Currently, the most dangerous problems are several reservoirs near Wenchuan."
"There are already serious problems with the Tulong Reservoir on the Min River. It may collapse. If that happens, it would affect several power plants below and be extremely dangerous," he said, according to transcripts released on the CCTV website.
A senior engineer, however, told Times Online that the Zipingpu Dam had suffered surface cracks but was not in immediate danger of collapse.
The National Development Reform Commission, China’s top economic planning body, announced that the earthquake had damaged 391 dams overall |

Here is the Google map link of the damn that is located near Dujiangyan in Sichuan province as stated in Yahoo news.
[ link to maps.google.com]
Can someone confirm it is that damn?
I found this same dam in Google Earth just north of Dujiangyan, China.
If that dam breaks it would be very serious! |

I'd say this coupled w/a few other events is HAARP's doing to keep their military busy at home, so they won't bother when the US and Israel hit Iran. Considering they just reaffirmed their love affair a short while ago on CNN, with Bush present, I'd be worried. |

I want to underline what I posted above : "Rubble created a dam holding back 600,000cum of water." Debris dams blocking rivers are major bad news, for they will burst after enough water has built up behind them. The concrete dams can possibly be saved if they can lower the water levels behind them. And if any dams fail, it could result in chain-reaction failures of dams downstream.
In other words, things could get worse. |

dunno, but this earthquake is illuminating the corrupt building practices in the area. The Three Gorge river dam had the same kind of corruption going on when it was built. [link to news.bbc.co.uk] |
