apparently it was a massive landslide


What are the chances that the development they did in the area affected that slope and led to a landslide?

Is that the bridge that went viral on Tik Tok to show how China was so much further advanced than America?

Anything made in China is cheap for good reasons.

Luckily, no casualties.

Yeah, but the Communist Party will kill those they deem responsible for this failure.

Look up tofu dreg construction.

It is hilariously bad.

If a major earthquake hits a big city, the buildings are less sturdy than legos.

mean, that’s typically standard in engineering to account for things like this.


Yes, one would solicit a geological firm for assessing the area, me guesses China skipped that part

did you watch the video?? looks like the entire mountainside collapsed. not sure engineering would have helped..maybe a geologist could have told them the entire mountainside was near collapse which may have worked.


wonder if the "engineering" for the road through the mountain to the bridge caused the mountain to collapse
