HOW DO YOU SAY "OH  CRAP!!"  IN CHINESE??  

YES, IT IS A 13 STORY  BUILDING-- LYING ON THE GROUND.   

Anybody who bought a condo here sure has a problem.  

Talk about a collapsed market!      

(1)  An underground garage was being dug on the south side,

to a depth of 4.6 meters. 

(2)  The excavated dirt was being piled up on the north side,

to a height of 10 meters. 

(3)  The building experienced uneven lateral pressure from south

and north. 

 (4)  This resulted in a lateral pressure of 3,000 tonnes, which was

greater than what the pilings could tolerate. 

Thus the building toppled over in the southerly direction.

 *First, the apartment building was constructed.* 

Then the plan called  for an underground garage to be dug out. 

The  excavated soil was piled up on the other side of the  building.

     *Heavy rains resulted in water seeping into the ground.*

The building began to tilt. 

Then it began to shift and the  "hollow"  concrete pilings were

snapped due to the uneven lateral pressures

And thus was born the eighth wonder of the world. 

If the buildings were closer together it would have resulted in a domino 

effect.

They built 13 stories on grade, with no basement, and tied it all down to

 hollow pilings with no rebar. 

Brought to you by the same folks that make your kids' toys and want to

build your car. 

Now that, folks, is a snafu.  Don't you feel better now, that these are the

folks manufacturing nearly EVERYTHING we buy and use today?
