On the morning of July 5, 2024, a Chinese dam collapsed.
There was an eight-meter-wide gap in the dam. The local administrators tried to use stones and trucks to block the gap. They failed. The gap became wider and wider. After a few hours, the width of the gap reached 200 meters. Those trucks had long been flooded. washed away.
At present, the army has arrived at the scene, but there is nothing they can do. The width of the gap where the dam collapsed was at least two hundred meters. An hour ago, in just one day, it went from eight meters to two hundred meters.
The government failed to evacuate civilians in time and many civilians died while rescue teams tried to find survivors.
Causes of dam collapse:
1. There have been heavy rains in the past few months.
2. There are many ant nests under the dam. They have corroded the dam for a long time and no one has checked whether the dam is healthy.
3. After a gap appeared in the dam, local administrators made a mistake. They wanted to use trucks to plug the gap instead of using sandbags.
Tomorrow morning, the width of the gap may be close to a thousand meters, and if the army and locally deployed tanks do not withdraw immediately, they will also be flooded.
The situation is gradually getting out of control, and people want to know whether the Communist Party is capable of fighting the floods. From the time there was a problem with the dam to reporting it, the administrative staff were very slow. They delayed the chance to deal with the problem. Their blocking measures were also substandard, and even those who arrived later The military has no experience in dealing with it. It's too late.
