Interesting article from Gizmodo about a (new) unoccupied 13-story apartment building which recently collapsed in China. The accident resulted in a single fatality. Of interest are the similar apartment buildings in the background.
I cannot really make out the foundation - perhaps that is it in the first photo. I cannot tell if the pylons, as seen from the fourth photo, are driven into the dirt or cemented into the foundation. It is a sad story. Though I am reminded of something Jim Chanos said in regards to the construction boom in China.

Pretty sure those are from 2009.
ReplyDeleteDamn, better read those dates a little more closely.
