And the last thing they heard him say was 妈的 = "Oh shit".
Just look for him popping up downstream. Tie a rope to his ankle.
You don't understand the physics of diving and your ability to survive the dive. The Damn has 175 meters of water which equals 574 feet depth. So you are going to send someone down 574 feet and subject them to 17.3 atmospheres of pressure. They can't carry that much air and they would have a lot of decompression time to do. I say any discussion of divers inspecting the bottom of the damn is Bravo Sierra.
Sorry but I never saw your post about a diver holding on to a ladder and only going two feet under. What I had read was about divers inspecting the bottom of the damn. Thought that was the discussion. What can I say other than nobody has been down there and will not be going soon. Even a remote couldn't see anything in that crap.
Ahhh.... never thought of that! Yeah, was thinking 175 ft. deep, which is still a deep dive. Now the backside might be different, at least not as deep, but again, the turbulence back there would be crazy. Ya think they have any technical divers? I had a friend that did that... finally quit, his wife made him, after he almost died.
But that is for normal people. We are talking about the new Master Race, I am pretty sure it’s different if your chinese.
This will be corrected and the Police will be discussing life histories with the two.
Or they let them in, because they knew the dam is still there for now and the guys agreed to say nice things like "the Chinese have a lot of engineers on this" (or at least say it now until they are out of the country).
What Doc1 posted is 100% correct. All dive tables are at sea level being 1 atmosphere. Then every 33 feet down is another atmosphere. And you continue counting down at 33 foot intervals and you must log the time at depth. Being above sea level does very little until you make an extended dive at some altitude maybe above 10,000 feet. There are tables that people have tried to work out but the adjustments are very small. You want to always figure your dive rounded to the deepest atmosphere and always round to the longest time down. The bends really suck.
I posted a couple of threads from these guys related to shoddy chinese construction techniques. If it is them, since one british accent sounds the same to me.
The American is married to Chinese citizen (wife) who helped set up the tour (they introduce the tour guide lady in the mask in the middle).
Actually, they did say that, plus added that there are "hundreds or thousands of sensors" iirc. All is cool...
We can only dream that these two work undercover for an HONEST three letter US agency.
Can’t think of an honest one .... enlighten me.
Well, that’s why I said dream. I don’t think any of them are honest most of the time, but the law of averages says every now and then someone will goof up and do the right thing.
Keep in mind that water flows through the dam other ways than through those gates (and the "leak")... they might be able to handle a significant amount of flow using the generators... it could be that they normally run them at 75% and now they are running at 100%. Also, iirc the level was significantly down from 175 meters last week. If so, there is room in the lake right now for some amount of rain. Also, that pic above does show the same gates open we saw a couple days ago. The long chutes on both ends have been used recently as in the pic, along with the rocks and handrail are showing in the video that we had seen in the downstream camera view when the water level lowered below the dam. I am thinking the video feeds are legit, at least right now.
