Yikes!
I admire the city planners’ confidence (or ignorance).
Memorial Honors Victims Of Imminent Dam Disaster
Here 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.
I 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.
It's the Onion, a joke news site.
Yikes. 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. :-)
People always said that the dam could support double the most severe earthquake that the fault could produce, but who knows how true that is.
Exactly. No matter how good or bad the odds are, that statement isn’t instilling confidence.
