Jun. 8, 2008
Chinese engineers and soldiers must be commended for their heroic efforts to divert a disastrous Chinese quake lake. Soldiers blew up wooden houses and other debris Sunday in a lake formed by China's deadly earthquake to speed the flow of water into a diversion channel and ease the threat of flooding for more than one million people in the sprawling disaster zone.
It is a major battle against the mother nature and to the relief of the whole world, the Chinese engineers and soldiers may have won the battle.
The Tangjiashan "quake lake" continues to swell even as water gushed down the spillway built after two weeks of frantic work by engineers and soldiers.
New sources are reporting that the far end of the lake is still in danger zone. Authorities are still on high alert, although the draining operation was progressing smoothly,
The Tangjiashan "quake lake" threatens close to one million people and if the channels for drainage is breached, it can be a catastrophic tragedy.
