Abandoned trucks flow like toys in the sea of water gushing out of the Tangjiashan quake lake in Sichuan province yesterday. The volume of water flowing into the lake's drainage channel has increased, but the authorities still worry heavy rainfall and aftershocks can cause a breach in the lake's dam leading to flash floods.
