Don't worry. I'm sure if someone did something so wildly irresponsible they would be immediately shamed, fired and prosecuted instead of- uh- given way- more- influence- over public policy. Clown World: Come for the honk; stay because the only escape is death.
Did you see the part where they actually admitted that the Three Gorges Dam buckled and bent from the flooding last year? They only admitted to it because it was noticeable from satellite view.
I am also interested to see what effect all this flooding will have on their agriculture in the near future. Since they sacrificed a lot of their farm land to save their cities from flooding, and Chinese rivers are more or less toxic sludge.
I saw it on China Uncensored, where there was some satellite company (may have even been US Intel) that pointed out in a report that satellite images had showed the dam was bending slightly (as well as MASSIVE silt build up at the base of the outflow ramps). And then China Daily (the English propaganda network) put out an article saying something to the effect of "We have spoken with Chinese engineers and they assure us that the dam was designed to bend and not suffer any damage. But they are still going to be doing minor repairs in the near future."
I work in utilities and about 15 years ago the billing office had a petion to ban dihydrogen monoxide and every one of the girls in the office had signed it. Got mad at me when I wouldn't sign. I asked if they were really stupid enough to try and ban WATER while working a water utility and it suddenly became a big joke. The entire office also voted for BHO so they weren't to bright.
the current is the issue. water is flowing down the subway tunnel and will sweep you away god knows where. The subway car is creating an area of still water.
your choice is to wait and hope you dont drown vs go out and get taken away by the current and certainly drown
Insofar as I want a dangerous cultural and national enemy of my people to suffer setbacks and instability. Unless you think that China can be ameliorated without any suffering whatsoever--at which point, allow me to tell you about some land in a swamp I have. It's a great investment!
Waiting for Three Gorges to go. This is mild by comparison.
I don't wish for it, but given the quality of Chinese construction, I fear it's inevitable.
Shocking safety standards. Remind me never to outsource my gain of function virology to China.

Komm, Susser Tod, komm selge Ruh!
tumbling down tumbling down tumbling down
China: We will be the world hegemon!
Biden: Yes, daddy.
Fabians: Our ROI will be through the roof!
The Three Gorges Dam: Wanna see why Communism doesn't work?

I actually hadn't seen that, or at least I don't remember it.

The Chinese also may or may not be suffering from a nuclear incident, on top of them having major flooding for the second year in a row.
...you know, just in case you were wondering why some of the bolder Chinese citizens are whispering about the Mandate of Heaven.
If you check out Google Earth, the Three Gorges Dam is replaced with a 3D render.
Corncobs make fine rebar. Three Gorges stronk.
Yes I'm worried about that too. Pray for the chinese people.
Add these to the list of dead that the Communists must pay for.
Weak.
"Quick, print a few billion dollars and give it to China!"
Are you fucking crazy? China doesn't want American dollars, they already know what it's worth.
If we gave them 10 Billion USD, they'd see it (rightfully) as a currency bomb and an act of war.
When will the climate change racism stop, if only Trump did not pull out of the Paris accord.
Water is an Asian hating bigot, let's boil it all off the planet.
Dihydrogen monoxide is a racist compound created by white supremacists.

We need to stop burning fossil fuels and build more dams... Oh wait...
Um, maybe it's time to get OUT of the subway car?
Mei Peng doesn't want to be late for work

That's what I thought, but if you look out the window it looks like the subway is still in motion
Pretty sure that's just the water flowing, looks like a light on the wall that isn't moving.
I wasn't sure if that was a light on the wall or a light on the train shining on the wall/water. The video quality is too low.
China has the most advanced technology and the best infrastructure. Their state run news outlets said so.
Just needs some sharks and syfy has a new movie!
A mod/scenario for Maneater?
A new piranha movie?
there was one with sharks in a flooded grocery store, it wasn't bad: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/118957-bait
I thought that 3-gorges had gone for a second and was briefly extremely excited.
#MeToo
So you potentially want innocent people to die?
Insofar as I want a dangerous cultural and national enemy of my people to suffer setbacks and instability. Unless you think that China can be ameliorated without any suffering whatsoever--at which point, allow me to tell you about some land in a swamp I have. It's a great investment!
At least the water is high enough that they can pee if they have to
Isnt there an electrocution hazard??
Virtually every subway in the world deals with so much water daily that they have breakers in place for that.
Many systems would flood naturally in days if they lost pumping capacity.
I suspect the electricity is completely shorted via the water. I guess the fuse powering the entire subway line has actually blown/tripped.
The lights we're seeing are probably from emergency batteries in the ceiling.
If you drop a toaster in the ocean, you aren't going to kill everyone on the beach.
China will grow larger.
That is not a good spot, try another.
come on three gorges
you know you want to
