The current Apple Maps photo of the dam shows the same warp. Interestingly the bridge shows a warp too.
If you look on google maps both look fine.
I’m betting the Apple Maps photo has some issues.

The dam was not satisfied.
Are you saying too many dam holes for Wang to plug?

Got to visit this place in 2007, the scale of it was amazing.
I was traveling with a group from my MBA program, one was an engineer and told me all about the seismic activity in region and that “outsiders” were very concerned about it maintaining structural integrity. We obviously couldn’t ask our guide or anyone there, they weren’t allowed to talk (or didn’t know) about those concerns.
My memory is a bit hazy, but it was a crazy amount of people that live downstream of this thing...like 30%? of China. I know we are pissed at China, but literally 10 of millions of innocent people could potentially die if it fails.

These guys are experts. They NEVER have issues rivers or dams.

It is fine, china doesnt care. Even if it fails it's no biggie.

It is honestly sad that people can look at this picture and think it is an accurate representation of what the dam looks like now. Unless China has invented a super-secret "rubber" concrete it is simply a distorted picture. Concrete doesn't tolerate bending loads well at all and the dam would have failed at several magnitudes less distortion than is shown. The safety of a concrete dam like this starts to get concerning when the shifts are in the millimeters range and it would have failed long before the concrete shifted by meters. The dam is almost certainly in trouble but you aren't going to see anything on sat views like this until it fails.

That's a poorly spliced image.

Looks like an illusion caused by the shadows. They appear to have been taken at different times of the year based on the sun angles.

I did some very simple calculations (subject to error obviously) and the offsets I have highlighted would be over 50 feet. Keep in mind the dam is 7761 feet in length. It would have failed long before those sections looked like that.

The CCP would internally celebrate this outcome.

I dont like sharing from a Middle Eastern propganda outlet but they are the only ones I have seen mention this.
Basically the Yangtze river is at its third highest level in history as central China has been getting dumped with rain for months. Cities downstream of TGD have flooded (Wuhan included) and the CCP has been lying through their teeth about how much water is being released at the dam. Millions have been flooded out of their homes with millions more to go, oh and its now Monsoon season as well.

Drowning it out is not a solution to the rona I had considered before now
