There’s about 60,000 are incommunicado in Sichuan province. The news says half Asia was shook, including Bejin, Taiwan, Tailand, Vienan were shook. It’s a terrible news, especially there’s the three Gorges Dam, the biggest dam, in the world in Sichuan. When the water level is maximum at 175 meters, the reservoir is about 660 kilometers (410 mi) in length and 1.12 kilometres (0.70 mi) in width on average, and contains 39.3 cu km (9.43 cubic miles) of water. Fortunately, it’s well. I still wonder that should Mainland China build such a thing? Though it has benefits economically.
