07/05/2024 SET News Channel,SETN: In China, a frontline levee in the Dongting Lake area faced a breach crisis on July 5th. The authorities deployed two dredging vessels to fortify and seal the breach with loose sand. Later, they asked the military to dispatch a large number of trucks loaded with sand and gravel to carry out a suicidal mission, directly filling the breach. But the attempt to seal the breach failed. The gap widened from 10 meters to 150 meters. The public questions whether using river sand to fill the breach was a natural disaster or a man-made calamity.
