What's amazing is that the building fell over, yet somehow stayed in one piece! |

Or maybe it did. Maybe that whole building was made in a plastic mold with fake facades attached.
That is unreal though. I hope no one was hurt or killed. |

Well, my friend just came back from a trip to the Mainland China and told me that they had the worst flood in 10 years.
In many places the water rose over 4 meters he told me.
If the pics are recent, and if they didn't anticipate the flooding during the construction, a structural collapse like in the pics is more than likely.
Regards

Or maybe it was japan last one i heard/saw about. It's something to do with the ground, makes for a bad foundation or something. I don't really know what I'm talking about because I can't remember what I heard/saw.
