#1 I think about all the history China has lost because of this and it makes me sad. On the other hand I have to wonder when the dam breaks how much of the "Artifacts" that became unburied will come rushing down the river. If we're lucky some hairpins might impale a Chinese Colonel or two.

#2 Given China's ecological record, the river could also to go up in smoke like the river that caught fire in Ohio some decades ago (Cuyahoga? or Maumee?). Or maybe suffer a cyanide spill.

Anybody taking bets on how much the commisars got in graft money for ignoring crummy materials?
