- severe damage to the masonry
- a crane failure that opens/closes the sluice gates
- several turbines (power generator) have failed (possibly three!?)
- extreme siltation (dirt) at the bottom of the dam, which additionally clogs and damages the turbines
The muck comes from the flooding and is currently settling on the dam.
So the dam is supposedly standing, but has been overflowing for weeks, which is why the water level is no longer rising. I don't know how many hundreds of villages there are flooded, but if a metropolis with 32 million people 600 km away from the dam is also flooded, then it is possibly very serious.

I've read somewhere -- don't ask me where, I read so much stuff nowadays -- that upward of 114 million people could be affected if / when the Three Gorges Dam collapses. Also, cities like Wuhan (yup, THAT Wuhan) could be under water.
I've heard something similar... numbers that are basically beyond comprehension. Almost seems unreal because we've been hearing it was collapsing for 2 or 3 years now, but that's probably how these things work. Could go whenever, I guess. I just hope they give them some warning, if it does.
Who helped build that damn ? If we did then it’s secure and it would be a DS blow up no?
Russians helped if I am remembering correctly what I read bout a year back.
Found some financiers

Interesting ... I obviously misremembered then.
Maybe it's all planned for when real investigations start?
