Default Big hole in wall but it doesn't fall down?

You'll have to watch this during daylight hours. Notice the enormous hole
in the wall, yet there's a restaurant running above it?! What's holding
that up?


I wonder if it's only the outer rendering that's flaked off, and there's a
solid breezeblock wall behind it which is providing the structural strength.
Even so, it's amazing that the rendering is still supporting its own weight.


I think you mean concrete block. Breezeblock is the stuff that weighs virtually nothing and you can smash it with your fist. It's only used for internal walls.
