Al Jazeera's Saturday NewsFeed showed rooftops breaking the surface of Indonesia's Karian Reservoir after an 80-centimeter drop in the dry season. [1] Officials said the reservoir remained within safe operating levels. The clip is the visual. The number is the stage.

The paper's earlier Saturday brief already treated the uncovered village as an operating drop, not a failure. This page is the same drone file read as a caption: 80 centimeters, rooftops, safe band. A later quake is not in the footage and will not be imported.

A climate postcard without the centimeter is a different paper. Saturday's completed image is the roofs and the official line that the dam is still inside its range.

The same Saturday NewsFeed is the paper's only visual of Karian. [1] It shows remains, not a named kampung. It shows an 80-centimeter drop, not a breach. Officials said the reservoir stayed inside safe operating levels. A second brief exists so the caption cannot be swallowed by the village romance. The number is the news.

Rooftops and eighty centimeters. Not a breach. [1]

The drone does not make a dam fail. The caption should not either. [1]

Eighty centimeters is a number. Keep it. [1]
