That's not good at all.The company noted that parts of the dam had “deformed slightly,” displacing some external structures, and seepage into the main outlet walls had also been reported throughout the 18 hours on Saturday and Sunday when water was discharged though its outlets.

I think if that dam failed catastrophically and Wuhan was wiped from the map, not too many outside of China would be terribly bothered.

I've seen a lot of Videos on Chinese construction - the failure of the dam is going to be a matter of when, not if.
