🚨New satellite images show the #ThreeGorgesDam has been deteriorating progressively since 2012.
More images and links in the thread below, but first a slideshow showing the progress of deformation over time. I've highlighted 3 points where it is most obvious.
It should be noted that the deformation is exaggerated by Google Earth as it computes a 3D model from different images. This is the original 2020 image in 2D without such distortion. It was taken on 9th July 2020.
Here is the link to the image above. Take a look around and see if you can find similar distortion on any other straight-line structure or road.
Satellite images can also be distorted because of the movement of the satellite or atmospheric conditions. However such anomalies should be random and are generally not as severe as we see in the image above.
So, it seems #ThreeGorgesDam is either in a very precarious and unstable condition, or it enjoys the privilege of being the only structure in the area suffering consistent and progressive satellite image distortion year after year.
One other thing to observe from this image is that the water downstream is carrying much more silt than the upstream. Two possible reasons:
1. Deliberate de-silting through low level gates
2. Water is flowing under or through the dam drawing and creating silt with the flow.
I covered more in this thread, which in turn contains more links to information concerning the perils of the #ThreeGorgesDam.
Please note it uses images from Sentinel-2 satellite, which auto-corrects any unexpected distortion back to straight lines.
If you feel like stretching your imagination a little, @paul_furber has been covering the musings of a supposed anon insider with detailed intelligence of the dam's problems.
Type 'dam' in the search box or search #BigDickAnon here.
Note the governing Chinese Communist Party #CCP has the area under lockdown and has made a concentrated effort lately to put out a lot of positive propaganda showing a nice straight dam. It is practically impossible to assess the real situation at present other than by satellite.
Original images shown in the video slideshow above. Let me know if you want the precise dates
The 2020 original image:
A separate image from Apple Maps shown in this thread shows the same deformation pattern as the others:
Note the huge red mobile cranes on the top which are about three stories high.
The lower ones are a little smaller, but pay attention to the horizontal wall behind them and in front of the spillway water discharge. We'll come back to that.
⚠️Corroborating Evidence that the #ThreeGorgesDam is badly deformed and likely to fail, possibly killing millions who are unaware of the risks.
Satellite images can be distorted and this is what the #CCP have claimed, only admitting to displacement of a few centimetres

Google is alleged to be colluding with the Chinese Communist Party by removing its current image and replacing it with an older one showing the Dam when it was new and straight.
The upper image is the one allegedly removed, while the lower is the current one from Apple Maps
This is the current image on Google maps, however it is evidently much older and taken when construction was nearly complete. The island near the top left is still under construction, while more recent photos show it finished with park land then more recently, submerged. #Busted
China has a long history of corruption leading to poor construction standards and failure of capital projects.
The consistency and accurate pouring of concrete should be tightly controlled in such projects. This site looks to be shoddy, dirty and unkempt #XiluoduDam
Oh what a surprise! This alleged fraud has links all the way up to Obama. But I suppose with $7.4 billion of US taxpayers' money to play with, there wouldn't be a need to leave anyone out.
