Dam is no longer in danger. Cracks are filled, water is pumped out of the lake, so the threat is over |

I don't know if this is related to the Chinese dam in any way ~ but it is related to the earthquake in China.
Our local newspaper has this AP story by Audra Ang, "Death Toll Soars".
Mianyang, China, is a city near the epicenter. But it's also near "something else"... which really made my ears perk up and the "woo-woo factor" in me take note. Here's the fascinating tidbit:
*******************
"The industrial city [Mianyang] of 700,000 people ~ *home to the headquarters of China's nuclear weapons design industry* ~ was turned into a thronging refugee camp, with residents sleeping outdoors."
*******************
"... home to the headquarters of China's NUCLEAR WEAPONS DESIGN INDUSTRY..." Kinda sorta makes ya think a tad. Wasayo

So what are ALL of these TROOPS going to be able to do about a structure failure??? Give each guy a caulk gun with liquid nails and start filling in the cracks??? Come on now, lets get real here. They need structrual engineers with a plan and heavy duty equipment with people who know how to run them to even begin to solve this huge problem. This dam is friggin HUGE!!

Here is a satellite view of another dam near Chengdu which is somewhat below and downstream [SE direction]from that earlier large concrete dam that was shown and confused with the 3 Gorges Dam which is farther north. That upper dam northwest west of Chengdu which was shown earlier was the one which retained that large reservoir in the mountains.
[link to maps.google.com]
The view of this dam [there surely are others along this river] is sort of obscured by cloud cover in this satellite shot and it could also be an older image too. The dam shown also appears to be still in the construction phase since it looks pretty strange at the moment of this image shot. In fact, it looks more like it may be an earthen dam in the pic. If so, that could be very problematic if any dams above it should collapse first, beginning a cascade effect. You could conceivably imagine a string of dams collapsing just like dominos. That could be a real nightmare should that happen. The result might be something akin to the New Madrid episodes in the US before the Mississippi ever had a dam in place. But actually worse, considering there are FAR more people threatened now in China than there were in the New Madrid area at the time of that earthquake episode, circa 1811-13. |

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?
Look at the dam in the link I sent. I need someone confirm this is that dam.
Here is the coordinates of the Yangtze river dam, which is correct, is not the dam in danger.
[ link to maps.google.com]
The damn that is danger, is reported to be from the 3rd century BC. The damn in your link looks newer, but ya never know, they built some amazing things around that time. |

Could be very appropos in this connection, depending on which side of the "damn dam" your viewing from. ;-}
Personally, I'd choose the upstream viewing perch, atop the highest mountain peak. Better yet, from an airplane heading the opposite direction from the dam damning deluge.
But that's just an instinctual preference I would easily consider ... foremost. |

Other aspects and places to look at.

More devastating, he said, was a report from a relative who said a huge lake called the Bai Shui had completely disappeared following the earthquake, apparently sucked into the earth's crust.
"Maybe the lake has disappeared forever," he said. "This would be a disaster. The people would have grain but no water to boil things."
end quote
quote
The Zipingpu dam, above the city of Dujiangyan with its population of 600,000, was said at one stage to be in an "extremely dangerous state" with cracks more than four inches wide appearing in its face, though the water resources ministry later said on its website that it was stable for the time being.
end quote
quote
Tulong dam, further north on the Min river, was said by officials to be near collapse, something which would have a knock-on effect on a series of dams and power stations further downstream.
end quote
quote
"There is nothing left of my village," said Fu Yuanming, who had walked for 10 hours from Village Number 3 of Qingping district near the epicentre to Hanwang town. "We need help. Our people have nothing to eat, they have nothing to drink."
He said a landslide had blocked the river above the village, turning into a reservoir that was about to burst.
end quote
quote
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.

If you're going to do a stereotype, at least do it right. Chinese can say R's just fine. It's the L's they have trouble with. So it would be fried rice, not flied lice. This would be the correct way to make fun of the Chinese. "God damn Mongorians, stop knockin down my shitty warr!" |

These are some of the best pics I have seen, that shows the total destruction in towns not really that close to the epicenter (see death toll rises slideshow on the left below the graphs). The graphs are also very good in showing the areas affected. Pray for these people, as this is truly hell on earth, and no one deserves this, regardless of their belief's or color, or slant of their eyes. |
