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?
triangle of pressure load or whatever it is called above the opening
...no lintel needed ...

Until the lateral walls bulge out :-)


Surely the brick in the middle of the top of the hole will fall, and so on.

Nah


The hole is holding up the brick?
