SAY OOPS IN CHINESE

This is UNREAL!!! Anybody who bought a condo here sure has a problem.   Talk about a collapsed market!  YES, IT'S A 12 STORY BUILDING  IN CHINA LYING ON THE GROUND. (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?           --  HELEN PULLIUM J
