A 13-storey residential building under construction in Shanghai collapsed on Saturday, killing one worker and highlighting the dangers of shoddy building in fast-urbanising China. The building, in the outskirts of the city, collapsed at around 6am Singapore time, with one construction worker killed. The block of high-rise residential flats was shown toppled onto its side in a muddy construction site. It appeared to be almost complete with fitted windows and a finished, tiled facade. Other similar-looking blocks in the same property development were still standing nearby.
What a joke ?
ReplyDeleteThe whole building collapse without any interference from earthquake or other natural disaster.
The building topple may be due to inadequate piling struture which is quite difficult to judge.
Therefore to buy house in China, we must be very vigiliant and careful not to buy and regret.
I think many people will cancel the purchase of the condominium from the developer.
Good luck to people whom had purchased the remainding condo.
