Look at the building to the toppled building's right. Maybe it's just the photo's perspective, but it almost looks like it's getting ready to fall over as well.

buildings don't just fall over like this. has anyone ever seen a building just fall over?!? no.
it's a government conspiracy.

buildings there do fall over, it's a land without OSHA standards, poor quality concrete built too tall on improperly prepared bedrock. this isn't the first, nor i'm afraid, will it be the last

this is what happens with Chinese slave-labour.
I wouldn't be surprised if the architects of this 'building' were sweat-shop, or prison workers.- So you are in favor of unions then?DrBombay
- not to mention the actual contractors and builders... I'd bet this building cost a total of $2,000 US dollars to build...StyIepIus
- Architects? Probably not. Cheapskate construction management is the issue.TheBlueOne

oh please, in USA they build shit out of wood, a little wind or flood and that shit gets washed away. A fire next door, and you're fucked.
People pay huge money for those piles of crap, and the mexican workers are overpaid too.
So don't laugh at the asians because they had a few hundred buildings sink, topple, or collapse.

i saw a report where an investigation of the foundation showed the building was wearing a giant thong and had ropes around it's plumbing system.
perhaps, this building was close to uncovering the same conspirators that carradine was.
sad stuff.
