Talk about a collapsed market..

YES, IT'S A 12 STORY BUILDING IN CHINA LYING ON THE GROUND.

An underground garage was being dug on the south side, to a depth of 4.6 meters.
The excavated dirt was being piled up on the north side, to a height of 10 meters.
The building experienced uneven lateral pressure from south and north.
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.

Don't you feel better knowing that these are the folks manufacturing nearly EVERYTHING we buy and use today?

The head civil engineer was promptly executed in line with Chinese judicial code.

Whenever these sort of topics come up, I will always, always point to the Turkish building that actually rolled over, and stayed intact.

Funny thing to me is that it wasn't a big deal because it was empty, like a lot of buildings in Beijing.
