Entire New 13-Story Building Tips Over in Shanghai

This past Saturday, an entire apartment building in Shanghai collapsed. To be fair, the building was under construction and thus unoccupied, but it's still a minor miracle that there was only one fatality.
Sounds like there was a problem with some nearby flood prevention walls at the Dianpu River, but there's no hard evidence as to why this huge building simply fell over. Anyway, here are some sweet pictures of the architectural carnage. [Cellar.org via Twitter]

Reminds me of what happens when you build a toy tower out of blocks like little kids do and it suddenly falls over when it gets too tall. Sad that someone died though.

True. Damn corner cutting builders. From Great Wall to this. Makes anyone not want to visit China with all that crap going on over there
