The ‘Iron Dam’ that became China’s deadliest secret
Fifty years ago, the Banqiao Dam in Henan collapsed, taking as many as 230,000 lives with it. This testament to Mao-era engineering hubris and political fanaticism was the worst structural failure and deadliest industrial disaster in human history, yet to this day, few inside or outside of China know anything about it.For show notes, transcript and photos of the Banqiao disaster, go to www.chinachronicles.org
