minus-squareBlastoid5000@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 years agoThis meme template is gold. I haven’t seen it before.
minus-squareDandroid@dandroid.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·2 years agoMy first thought was why would you put a town at the bottom of a dam like that? And then I remembered that I grew up in a small town under a dam. That dam was on a fault line.
minus-squareHaphazardFinesse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 years ago'Cause the town came first. Town was built on the original river, which was later dammed for power/water reservoir for said town.
minus-squareAusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoYikes! I admire the city planners’ confidence (or ignorance).
minus-squarePipedLinkBot@feddit.rocksBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 years agoHere is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=yjfrJzdx7DA Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube. I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
minus-squareAusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoI know lives are at stake, but this entire thing reads like something from a mockumentary. I really hope the city management and the citizens act before it is too late. Is moving out the only option? P.S. I wonder what the real estate rates are at that place.

minus-squareAusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoYikes. I did not notice that. It did not help that the piped link directly opened the video in full screen. Thanks for bringing my attention to the fact. :-)
minus-squareDandroid@dandroid.applinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoPeople always said that the dam could support double the most severe earthquake that the fault could produce, but who knows how true that is.
minus-squareAusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoExactly. No matter how good or bad the odds are, that statement isn’t instilling confidence.
