- reflex768, on 05/26/2008, -11/+193Can you imagine being buried under debris, yet surviving...and then the water starts seeping in. A combination of being buried alive and drowning. That's a true nightmarish death.
- EdmontonEh, on 05/26/2008, -1/+125Can you imagine the outrage if these types of douche-bag comments were coming out after 9/11? Grow up people and have some compassion for people who did nothing but live their lives till it was devastated.
Brutal... - cryonix, on 05/26/2008, -9/+92Nature doing what it does best. Creating and Destroying.
- witooo, on 05/26/2008, -22/+81I don't think this is the formation of a lake. A wider river? Definitely.
- Ryan166, on 05/26/2008, -6/+62A wide unflowing river IS a lake.

- vandersarJr, on 05/26/2008, -3/+37Proof that man isn't anything compared to nature.
- Jhiaxuz, on 05/26/2008, -4/+33I feel like a bastard to bury you but I feel like a monster to digg you.
- tas08, on 05/26/2008, -3/+28In Communist China, Soviet Russia jokes don't make sense, sense makes Soviet Russia jokes.
- IphtashuFitz, on 05/26/2008, -1/+25Really? Ever hear of a little body of water on the border of the US and Canada called Lake Ontario? Water flows out of it at a massive rate, approximately 4 million cubic feet per minute. It's called Niagara Falls. So by your reasoning it should be called "River Ontario" instead of "Lake Ontario"? Same goes for Lake Erie, which is where the water from the falls flows into.
- IphtashuFitz, on 05/26/2008, -2/+25With all the dams they've built to provide their booming population & economy with electricity I'm really not all that surprised that this happened... Shortly after the earthquake struck I heard a piece on the news where they said that virtually every river in China has at least one dam on it. And now there are something like 700 dams that have suffered structural damage from the earthquake. Pretty scary to think about what can happen if even a few of them fail... They've certainly suffered enough and don't need that to compound the situation.
- rainierbeer, on 05/26/2008, -2/+25dugg for geology. btw. landslide dammed lakes are fairly common and typically unstable. what is unusual in this case is that the landslide was triggered by an earthquake and not a storm event.
- Wrangler76, on 05/26/2008, -4/+25I was wondering when the conspiracy theories about China creating their own earthquake would pop up.
- notoneofus, on 05/26/2008, -0/+18You do realize that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, right?
- Coolmatt49, on 05/26/2008, -1/+19Yours doesn't help.
- emailingRob, on 05/26/2008, -0/+16You think the Chinese celebrate Halloween?
- drakenlot, on 05/26/2008, -3/+18way to bring religion in just 8 mins after popular.
- R0l0, on 05/26/2008, -3/+17A ride faking wake IS a liver.
- 64mhz, on 05/26/2008, -4/+17Proof that man still has not conquered nature. No worries, our time will come.
- Gimpi, on 05/26/2008, -4/+17It's not a rhyme if you use the same word each time.
- bravo1995, on 05/26/2008, -5/+18That was a real stretch, Yakov.
- falkonv7l, on 05/26/2008, -5/+16I am new to these Soviet Russia jokes, so I am happy to still see em around.
- piesforyou, on 05/26/2008, -0/+11You make me sick.
- TheHim, on 05/26/2008, -0/+10It's flawed logic that we have to conquer nature. We're part of it, and as long as we see ourselves alien to our environment, we'll foul our own nest.
Ask a person with OCD how well progressive self-control works. - MogusMaximus, on 05/27/2008, -1/+11Yup. They meet twice a month to watch Apollo 13 and scribble notes furiously on their little notepads. Bless their hearts.
- boester, on 05/27/2008, -3/+129/11 is nothing, only ~3k deaths. This Earthquake caused 50k.
- Pinkertinkle, on 05/26/2008, -1/+10O yes the chinese must have an earthquake generator and used it on sichuan to distract people from tibet. That makes a ton of sense.
- agimat, on 05/27/2008, -3/+11And then the piranhas come.
- inactive, on 05/26/2008, -4/+11You suck.
- synik, on 05/26/2008, -1/+8Using your logic - obviously China had an earthquake on purpose?
- whatever01, on 05/26/2008, -0/+7China has a huge number of dams, and many were built during the Cultural Revolution, and built without much care. The potential for compounded tragedy is huge.
- zzz@tkz, on 05/26/2008, -4/+11Wrong, it is a rhyme...just not a good one.
- Wrangler76, on 05/26/2008, -1/+8The Chinese government has actually been praised for its quick response, which has been even better compared to how certain developed countries have responded to their own natural disasters. Of course, some will quickly dismiss their excellent response as simply being due to the olympics coming up, while complete morons (like you) will try to convince others that they didn't actually do a good job regardless. How brainwashed can some of you people be?
- inactive, on 05/26/2008, -0/+6because it's stupid?
- IphtashuFitz, on 05/26/2008, -0/+6But I wonder how much of it, if any, was also influenced by man. Virtually every river in China is dammed for power and/or agriculture. Was the blockage that caused this lake solely the result of a natural rock slide, or was it in part the result of a dam built by the Chinese that failed in some way?
- adamcurtis, on 05/26/2008, -0/+6It's called the Caps Lock key. Please learn to use it...
- Hangly, on 05/27/2008, -0/+6Getting closer to 80k.
- jdowland, on 05/27/2008, -0/+6Taiwan also has the tallest building in the world, fastest elevators in the world, etc.
- thzae636, on 05/27/2008, -7/+13Call me an ignorant American, but I never would have thought Taiwan had a national space organization.
- Hangly, on 05/27/2008, -0/+5Inertia is a property of matter.
Bill Bill Bill! - frisk415, on 05/27/2008, -0/+5That's crazy to think how fast the earth can change. A lake formed because of 1 earthquake? Amazing.
- inactive, on 05/26/2008, -1/+6Because the government controls plate tectonics, right?
Dumbass. - whatever01, on 05/26/2008, -0/+5Except for terminal lakes (Great Salt Lake, Mono Lake, Caspian Sea etc), lakes have outlets, ergo, they are "flowing". A lake is over 2-8 hectares, depending upon what definition you're using.
- emildorbell, on 05/27/2008, -0/+5I live in Sweden, far away from the US, and we had a minute of silence in school the days after 9/11. We never had any minutes of silence for the victims of this earthquake or most other events where a lot more than 3000 people were killed. Not saying 9/11 wasn't a tragedy, just saying it seemed weird to me that was the only event to warrant a minute of silence.
- inactive, on 05/26/2008, -0/+5It functions best in the "off" position.
- OnlyShawn, on 05/27/2008, -0/+4a lake is not cut off from everything else...it's typically got at least one source and an outfall. So, when it reaches a certain point/size, it's a lake.
- cquinnd, on 05/27/2008, -0/+4Instead you are being dugg down for thinking inside an even smaller box.
- emildorbell, on 05/27/2008, -0/+4You do realize the Chinese government is handling this disaster amazingly? They're doing everything they can in every possible way. It's pretty much the exact opposite of how the US handled Katrina.
- bonez56, on 05/27/2008, -0/+4My parents were on vacation in China for the last month while all this happened. They got home just today.
Apparently they were in an aircraft for 14 minutes and had just taken off before one of the serious aftershocks happened right near the airport they were at.
Thank god they are ok. -
