What does that have to do with the fact that a far higher percentage of such projects in China are done to lesser or nonexistent standards than you seem willing to accept? Unlike in China, the Nola building collapse will have inspections and labratory analysis to figure out what went wrong versus the contractor simply walking away or sliding money to local bureaucrats to bury any liability.

Allow me to clarify the point I tried to originally make before another Roseanne Rosana Danna goes off on me about the fricking Chinese: Isn’t it pretty amazing that the Empire State Building was built in 13 months in 1930, and still stands today; so just because something is done quickly it doesn’t mean it will fail. And by the way, not all the buildings in China have collapsed, not that I give a shite.
