Failure of something like this will push back china to past, in terms of development. Ironically past, historical treasures and more than a thousand years of culture is what they've sacrificed. There is always a cost for everything. No floods for millions equaled whatever they lost under the reservoir. I personally think it will stand as a symbol of engineering marvel and man's struggle against nature's forces. But lets see who has the last laugh.
