I was just watching the news when a story about a submerged town came on. It sounds alot like the city from WWZ. Does anyone know if there's a story online somewhere about this?

Dude, I have read WWZ four times, so I know for a fact when I say this: There is no underwater city in WWZ. There is an ICE city, but that is a man-made attraction, but the book didn't mention anything about an underwater city.

Page 8 of World War Z
"She admitted that it had happened when the boy and his father were "moon fishing," a term that describes diving for treasure among the sunken ruins of the Three Gorges Reservoir. With more than eleven hundred abandoned villages, towns, and even cities."
pretty sure thats the part that Samazar is referring to.

Pretty sure this is a factual statement.

Pretty sure this is a factual statement. Not as far as anything i've seen...i know there were some issues with flooding that the dam wasn't able to controll and a few thousand people died but i've never read anything about the dam actually bursting. Considering they were still working on it in late 2009 I am pretty sure it hasn't bursted yet. But i know its a major concern so their building smaller dams upstream to hopefully eliminate the risk. Although the construction itself probably destroyed thousands of villages. @ZAS: I see where the confusion came from.

Okay, I wiki'd it and I see what happened now... when the built the dam, they had to relocate several million people in a few dozen towns, which were then flooded by the lake created by the dam. So yeah... there really are underwater cities there.

In a weird technical way yes...cities in the sense that people are actively living and going about their lives...not so much.
