  • @Nash1a well it's like four stories high of soil. That's a lot of soil, which could weigh like several tons plus with it being wet thats like several more tons of weight added because of water.

  • Only 1 construction worker die?

  • HAAHAAAA! Sowas würde in Deutschland niemals passieren! okay, vielleicht bauen wir keine hotels in 6 tagen, aber dafür stehen unsere jahrhunderte!!! sofern man sie lässt. FAIL CHINA!

  • And the whole building remained complete after it collapsed! From the pictures you will be surprised to see not even the windows shattered.

  • chinese engineering fails!!!

  • Really? Who builds a building this tall without supports going down to bedrick? I've never seen an american building fall OVER because someone piled up some dirt on one side.

  • Let me translate for this guy.. I think Know by the look on his face what he really wants to say',There is a man behind the curtin with a gun pointed at me..If i screw up this statement I'm a dead man, they will send my family the bill for the bullit! (Holly sh!t !)
