China Slammed by Floods
People have been worried about the Three Gorges Dam for years. If it actually collapses, it will be an unprecedented disaster.

Hi Chris & Team, thanks for covering this. Do you happen to know how the current situation compares to previous floods in China and specifically the one in 1998? It would be nice to have a point of reference to understand how bad the current situation is. Are we facing an other Banqiao dam level event? I'd be especially interested in the historic water levels in the Three Gorges Dam reservoir. Best regards and keep up the good work, Zim
How do you feel about YouTube running ads on your videos even though the show is demonetized? Move to Vimeo?
Why don’t you just make a show called Earth Uncovered, America China Relations or something like that?
If China was safe to travel in, what province would you like to visit Chris, Shelley, and Matt. I pick Yunnan. From the photos and videos I've seen it seems like a very beautiful area.
I will always feel for good and innocent people. Not the CCP.
Look at in japan in japanese pillars 1000 yr plus older says do not build below this point and fukushima was in the distance below these.
Just for the record: AFAIK the 3GD is at risk of collapse but the satellite images are indeed distorted. Misleading: Satellite images of warped Three Gorges Dam in China are not accurate https://medium.com/annie-lab/misleading-satellite-images-of-warped-three-gorges-dam-in-china-are-not-accurate-c3f3080c9772
Yes, I know and am aware of the Banqiao Dam failure. I also agree that the situation is dire. I've been following it for the past couple of weeks and it looks worse by the day. My heart is very heavy. I just wanted to point out that the warping photos are misleading. See more misinformation debunked about the 3GD situation in this video. The guy has been on the case for weeks now and looked into the risk of the 3GD dam collapse in detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3foF-WOKmI His other videos on this topic are also worth a watch.
