Not Going According to Plans

H/t to Dr. X, where there’s a description of what brought about the fall of this brand-new building. They’re in a bit of a hurry over there in China.

In that this building didn’t collapse upon itself as it fell is amazing and shows great construction skills. However, without a good foundation, too bad. It appears in the third picture of description of the building in the background photo is leaning as well.

Oh man, it so does look like another building is leaning in that last photo.

I wouldn’t be surprised if other buildings are leaning. If they failed to properly account for the ground conditions under one of those buildings, they’ll probably have problems with others.

Like you say, NMC, they’re in a big hurry over there.

I’m looking for this guy in the photograph and can’t find him. Doesn’t mean he isn’t there.

Check out this artist and his work. It’s claimed there is no trick photography or photoshop.
That’s hard for me to believe, especially looking at the last one.

OWIL: I don’t think the other buildings are leaning … I think that’s a photographic distortion caused by combined effects of camera angle (above or below flat-level), and lens width.

Regardless—or “irregardless” as Pro. Luther Love McDougal used to say—I ain’t moving into no Chinese apartment.

Anderson, I would call that color passive-aggressive pink.
