High Rise of Doom: Made In China

I found these interesting photos while online this week.  A 12 story condo complex was having a parking garage excavated on the south side of the building while the dirt was piled up on the north side of the building.  Apprently, the lateral forces created by the difference in hieght and weight of the dirt surrounding the structure broke the pylons of the building.






I would have loved to be there when it tipped over.  I wonder if this was the same construction company that fixed the Oakland Bridge in San Fransisco.
