The Statement
A social media post claims the Three Gorges Dam in China is "leaking" and has caused widespread flooding. The post includes footage and still images it claims "may or may not be" of destruction from the flooding, adding that it "certainly lines up big time with everything that's happening right now".
The Facebook post, shared on May 2, features four images of flooding events taken from a YouTube video. The images show a flooded intersection, muddy water flowing over rocks, submerged houses and trees, and a house amid earth churned up in a landslide.
The post's caption claims the images are of events from the "3 Gorges Damm (sic) in China" and that "THE TIMING IS SPOT ON. FRESH OUT THIS MORNING. YESTERDAY THERE (sic) REPORTS OF IT LEAKING BIG TIME ALSO."
The post links to a YouTube video in the comments section.The post also mentions "Q" and the "Trump team", references to the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory and former US president Donald Trump.
