More trouble is on its way in Sichuan.
Quake images show lake forming
[i]"Landslides caused by the Sichuan earthquake have blocked rivers and formed new, possibly unstable, lakes.
Satellite images taken by the Taiwan’s National Space Organisation (NSPO) show one such lake forming in Beichuan County, one of the areas worst hit by the quake."[/i]
[quote]“The lake is now holding more than 128 million cubic metres of water and may cause a devastating flood if the barrier bursts,” it said.
On Monday, troops carrying 10kg of explosives each arrived at the lake to begin blasting work.

Err… won’t blasting a small hole, allow water to rush out at such pressure that it will eat away at the rest of the blockage possibly causing a bigger hole… and a huge wave… hope they catch the wave on video…
Surfs Up Duude!
