so after the collapse of the Banqiao dam in 1975 tens of thousands of people died of starvation in the following weeks because malnutrition was still so common in Chinese countryside and food relief couldn't reach them.

DoorDash Suspends New York City Operations Ahead of Blizzard DoorDash has activated its Severe Weather Protocol and will temporarily suspend operations across New York City from 8:30 PM ET tonight. Depending on conditions, we may shut down sooner. Operations will remain suspended until at least 12:00 PM ET on Monday, February 23. We're shutting down at least 30 minutes ahead of the citywide travel ban to ensure deliveries are completed and Dashers are safely off the road before streets close at 9:00 PM. Statement from DoorDash spokesperson Julian Crowley: "New York City is bracing itself ahead of a historic blizzard - the first in nearly a decade - with a foot of snow or more and dangerous wind gusts expected. We're suspending operations early to keep Dashers safe and off the streets before the travel ban takes effect. We're closely monitoring conditions and will resume as soon as it's safe to do so." DoorDash will continue to monitor conditions and guidance from local officials and will communicate

Nach dieser Logik wäre übrigens Wasserkraft die gefährlichste Energieerzeugungsform, weil es alleine beim Dammbruch von Banqiao in China mindestens 200.000 Todesopfer gab. Dagegen sind die 4.000 Opfer von Tschernobyl geradezu vernachlässigbar…

A few photos from an afternoon wandering around Banqiao:

1) The signboard for the old Banqiao Theater (板橋大戲院)
2) Pillars of light inside Cihui Temple (板橋慈惠宮)
3) Lin Family Garden (林本源園邸)
4) Banqiao Broadcasting Station (板橋放送所)
The dismal entrance to an old building in Banqiao. There are scooters parked in the laneway, cables running along the walls, and overhead, an old sign with the barely discernible characters for "Banqiao Theater". Pillars of light inside a temple in Banqiao, Taiwan. Each pillar has hundreds of little idols of the goddess Mazu with names of donors written on each. They're meant to provide protection throughout the year. A classic Minnan-style building in the Lin Family Garden in Banqiao. There are two levels to this structure, with the second affording a view of the surrounding landscape. It was built by this rich family to receive guests. A modernist building in Banqiao that was once a radio broadcasting station. It is late afternoon and there is a golden glow across the top of the structure.

Fucking hell.

The 1975 collapse of Banqiao Dam and 61 others in Henan, China caused the third-deadliest flood in history. Affected 10 million people and killed between 26,000-240,000 people.

For comparison, all of the other dam collapses in the world in the 20th century only killed 13,500.

OK.
Faisons un raisonnement par l'absurde.
Vous dites "centrale de Tchernobyl."
Moi je dis Barrage de Banqiao.
Selon les autorités chinoises, sa rupture a causé plus de 80'000 morts. Chiffre probablement largement sous-estimé. D'autant plus qu'il faut y ajouter les suites : famine, etc.

Zheng Banqiao, poet & painter in the Qing Dynasty, openly admitted his fondness for male beauty in his self-narrative.
In a memorable incident, he couldn't help shedding tears when witnessing a handsome youth being publicly caned 1/2

Notably after the Banqiao disaster a lot of people starved to death because they were already malnourished enough for a week or two without food to kill them. And that was mid-70s!

Tchernobyl, le plus grave accident nucléaire de l'Histoire. Peut-être 10 000 morts.

...

Banqiao, le plus grave accident de barrage de l'Histoire. Peut-être 200 000 morts.

Ma question : qui milite contre les barrages ?
