| #20 I am a bit suspicious about the second photograph. That said, if I remember my tables right and perhaps you engineers can correct or elaborate, concrete is not known for its tensile strength, and even less for its elasticity to bend back into shape. A mile and change stretch of dam being slightly out of place would be Big Trouble in Larger China. Like that scene at the end of Force 10 from Navarone - the dam is broken, now its just nature taking its course. |

| #16 Given the enormous worldwide impacts if the dam fails, and the obvious downstream flooding that must be occurring, why WBA’s this been invisible in the MSM? A google news search yesterday turned up next to nothing about the current situation. |

| #13 Assuming Frank's pic is accurate, the "dam" appears to be a lost cause. "No, no! we designed it to be all foldy!" /CCP |

| #12 I think KBK is right. The "before" image shows kinks in the same places as the "after." The angles differ, so it's hard to see changes. |
