00:00China is building the world's most expensive dam, right on top of an active earthquake
00:04fault.
00:04This isn't just a dam, it's a 60 gigawatt monster on the Yarlong Tsangpa River.
00:09With a price tag of $170 billion, it's the most expensive engineering project in human
00:15history.
00:15Engineers are drilling massive tunnels to force a raging river through a Himalayan gorge.
00:20But there is a massive problem, geologists confirmed an active fault line directly beneath
00:24the construction site.
00:26One major tremor could threaten the entire structure.
00:28But the real danger isn't just structural, it's geopolitical.
00:32Downstream, India and Bangladesh rely on this river for survival.
00:36By controlling the reservoir, China could theoretically manipulate water flow, sediment, and flood
00:41pulses.
00:42Critics are calling it a water war waiting to happen.
00:45Is this the world's greatest green energy project, or a dangerous weapon of control?
