13 Story Building in Shanghai Falls Over Spontaneously

I saw this while clicking around on Tom.com's news section:

An entire 13 story building under construction collapsed at 6am on June 27th.   Not sure if they know exactly why yet.

According to this report, at least 1 person died in the collapse.

Its pretty sturdy though, it stayed in one piece!

wow,  if you pre-bought one of the condos in the next tower over, I'm guessing you've just decided to rethink your next move.  :-P

from - http://post.news.tom.com/s/9A000AB2967.html 东方网记者乔礼、毛丽君、曹磊、杜丽华6月27日报道:今晨六时许,上海市莲花南路莲花河畔小区 一幢在建13层楼房倒塌。东方网记者事发后立即赶赴现场,但警方拒绝记者进入。据目击者称,现场有人死亡,但东方网目前还未得到进一步证实( 经新华网消息证实,已有一名工人死亡)。 东方网记者在现场看到,现场严格警戒,任何闲人和记者都不允许入内。很多警方人员在现场维持秩序,还有救护车在事发现场。 一位目击者告诉东方网记者,他用手机拍下了从现场抬出来的一个人人,那人被白布包裹着,很可能已经死亡。据说,这个人是今天早晨进楼拿工具的工人。 据新华网报道, 在事故中丧身的工人为安徽籍民工,姓肖,28岁。事发时,他正在楼里取工具,楼房倒塌前他未来得及逃出不幸丧生 。   5555s.com 5555s.com 5555s.comtags: Photofunnia,  5555s.com,  michael jackson,  shanghai building falls over,  9/11 conspiracy,  building collapse, government conspiracy, 9/11 truth,  osamabinladen in china, shanghai collapse

They should just leave it flat. Looks better, no elevator needed. Maybe its cheaper now? I'd get a flat.

No disrespect to the dead but When I saw these pics, I immediately thought of Buster Keaton in Steamboat Bill Jr when the house fell on him and he popped right out the window. Comic potential is endless when a complex falls on you!

one of my kung fu brothers is a civil engineer and I heard about how corrupt this industry can be, he told me a story about a certain company skimming a bit on the length of a certain skyscraper's foundation and the authories found out and they had to demolish the building... now I know why

and I'm no Micheal Scofield but I don't seem to see any sort of foundation sticking outta the bottom of this building at all!
