URGENT UPDATE: BEIJING FACES UNPRECEDENTED FLOODING: THREE GORGES DAM UNDER THREAT
In a recent report, Beijing has experienced a record-breaking 19.6 inches of rainfall within a 24-hour period, leading to catastrophic flooding across the region. The situation has raised concerns about the stability of the Three Gorges Dam, which the CCP had previously lauded as a “1000-year dam,” designed to withstand a “100-year flood.” However, with the current crisis reaching unprecedented levels, the dam is now at severe risk of breaking.
Authorities are issuing urgent warnings to residents, urging them to prepare for the potential collapse of the Three Gorges Dam. The situation remains critical as a second typhoon is also expected to make its way towards the affected area, exacerbating the already dire circumstances.
As the situation unfolds, it is crucial for residents and emergency responders to remain vigilant and take all necessary precautions to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
