Worst case this could be the most profound human catastrophe in all human history. The chance of this is not slight. The results of this will be Biblical even by Bible standards.

As I have said a hundred times since January, stock up on essential pharmaceuticals.

Probable chain of events If TGD collapses:

  1. Huge immediate death toll -- possibly in millions

  2. Massive infrastructure destruction -- bridges, roads, water

  3. 22 gigawatts of electrical production gone. Even if the wires are standing and your factory/home are safe from flood, your hydropower just blew down the gorge and through a lot of towns and out to sea, along with a lot of workers and customers. Economy flushed out to sea. Many of our pharmaceuticals are produced down river and/or depend on electricity from TGD.

  4. More pandemic such as swine flu.

  5. Famine. Famine. Famine. Big famine always brings pandemic. Pandemic and Famine (big ones, like this) always bring War.

  6. Remember -- Three things always go together: Big Pandemic, War, Famine. The Three Musketeers. All for one, one for all. Any big War always brings the other two. Any big Pandemic brings Famine and War. Any big Famine always brings War and Pandemic. Devil's Triangle.

The great news is CCP likely will not survive. They lost the facade of Mandate to Heaven. They made the dam. They used it to create wealth to rob and bully the world. Their Devils have served them papers to the Mandate to Hell.

They’ve been saying this dam will collapse for several years now.

Fucking christ, the dam is NOT COLLAPSING!

I've posted this a half dozen times.

The image showing "substantial movement" of the dam, is a radar altitude data superimposed on a flat satellite image.

It is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for the dam to have moved that much.

Quit spreading #FAKENEWS!

Would effect us for a while, but be AMAZING in the 5 year term.

The arrogance of China to build a dam that large and have THE SAME FUCKING PEOPLE WHO BUILT IT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY CHECKS AND QUALITY INSPECTIONS. Fuck you china. china is asshoe. You sleep in the bed you made

We already are. There is so much water behind it that it has slowed the earth's rotation. If it suddenly collapsed I bet there would be a discernable lurch (discernable by satellite if not us).

The only thing I've seen so far is dumbshits using poorly stitched satellite photos as evidence and calling it warping.

You are partially correct.

The latest image is a 2d satellite image, superimposed on 3d radar data.

But yes, dumbshits are posting this as "evidence". Physically impossible for the dam to have "warped" that much and not busted already.
