| Quoted from Arch Daily on 30th June 2009. 
Typical cases of structure damage show portions of or whole buildings collapsing, but this is the first time that I see a building perfectly toppled. The 13-story building is part of the Lotus Riverside complex in suburban Shanghai. The cause of this epic structural fail is under investigation, but first source claim that an error on construction and unstable soil conditions are the probable causes. More images after the break.

Read the comments from Arch Daily. That's one of the reasons why I do not wish to risk-working in China.
You will never know what the builders will do after handing over the documentation sets.
You will never know when the building is going to collapse.
And you will never know when you will get sued by lawyer/government.
And most importantly, you will never know when you're gonna die if you are living in this kinda building. |

| 魂魄歸位，又開始新一年既搏殺。
上年事事順境，希望今年能更上一層樓。
仲有年半就畢業，我o係2004年俾自己既承諾亦快將實現。
黎緊呢年，我誓死一定要去旅行！所以又要搏老命返工同讀書。錢呀錢，幾時輪到我中六合彩？
今年犯太歲，真係要少說話多做事 ...
要keep住身心平衡，得閒做多d運動！
希望自己做任何事都專心d，勿受外來刺激物影響。
市道低迷，希望各位好友可以早日搵倒好工。
啊，好想參加比賽，但係驚搞到自己要自殺...
任何事都會成過去，人一定要向前望！

| 每年農曆新年，
老豆一定會拉我去花市買年花，
上年d水仙因天氣凍同落雨，
九成都冇開花，所以最後買左紫蘭花。
今年d水仙開花及時，
所以行花市唔夠使10分鐘就買左兩盆，
始終都覺得水仙靚同夠芳香。
原來，水仙花英文係narcissus/daffodil
仲有好幾種水仙添，真係唔講唔知。
牛年，祝大家身體健康、萬事如意、出入平安、事事順利。
