They were fortunate in the direction it fell and that it wasn't
occupied.
I immediately thought of the dozens of similar blocks in Hangzhou
about 50 miles to the south of Shanghai. If one of those fell in the
wrong direction, I could sadly imagine thousands of deaths as a deck
of cards fell down.


I can't help but wonder what will happen to the other buildings in that
cluster, will they let them be occupied at risk of thousands of lives?
Whoever signed off on putting up those buildings on what appears to be mud
might have a short trial with no appeal in his future.
