Real talk, just like few weeks ago 25 story building collapsed completely due to poor materials used.
It was later gathered that the project was initially budgeted for 16 story building but due to greed, the owner changed Contracted Architect and decided to expand it with another.
Up to 7 persons lost their lives, working at the building site during the incident.

Wow, that is horrible. Things are not that bad over here... but I'm afraid these modern buildings will collapse pretty easy in case of a earthquake. The last big one we had was a few centuries ago, so I guess everyone is feeling over confident and think it won't happen again.
Thanks for you visit and comment!
Oh no, that's terrible! We had a condo building collapse in Miami, Florida several months ago because they didn't do the necessary maintenance. Meanwhile, in my apartment building in Denver they finally - after decades - realized that the metal beam that was pretty much a speed bump in the garage underneath the building was a structural support beam and that's why every time someone drove over it, the whole building shook. I for years felt the shaking and thought, "Is someone crashing into a pillar in the garage? Is it a heavy truck on the street driving by? What is that?" Nope, it was the whole building being shook because some genius left a support beam exposed.
So they had to have engineers figure it out and it took months of waiting and then construction work to fix it, but it's finally fixed. My mom was freaking out when I told her because it was right after the Miami building fell and she was afraid my building would collapse, too.
That's unreal!!! I'm glad to hear it's fixed now, that sounded very dangerous!
Grateful nothing terrible really happened.
