- 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.

For months now, their smaller dams, bridges, tunnels have collapsed. People have invested in their building programs, but they are poorly build. Many homes do not last 5 years without serious repair. I’ve been praying for a year that 3 Gorges dam would hold for the sake of hundreds of millions downstream.
