there are actually a couple of things wrong here. one being that the piles are hollow for this buildings foundation, and it appears that they excavated and piled it earth to one side of the building causing a major pressure bulb issue.

You do understand how business works, right? It takes 2 parties to conduct a business, the seller and the buyer. When you say greedy, referring to American companies and consumers, it also implies the companies, businesses, and people they're doing business with, i.e. Chinese companies, Chinese businesses, Chinese consumers and producers. So although you try to make it out like China's achievements are US' by saying giving it all away, US' achievements are because of the world including China.

110 story 1,400 foot tall buildings do, this tower looks to be less than 10 stories.

Gravity goes down, not sideways dude. Extremely large tall objects don't have enough internal friction in them to hold the building together long enough for it to topple over sideways - hence, the World Trade Center collapsed downwards.

Hahahaha, that's hilarious, dude! I'm with you, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Amazing how many people bought that "jet fuel fire brings down 2 skyscrapers " story hook, line, and sinker. People have no common sense anymore....

Weird, after 9-11 I thought buildings collapsed into their own footprints.

Does this mean I don't get my security deposit back?

Good thing the flats were not any closer, or they would have fallen one

against the other like dominoes.

Imagine being on the crapper reading the paper when the whole building

tips over. NOT a relaxing way to start your day!
