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-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.
