How far is the location of Zhuzhou’s 3 million yuan elevated road from the other Chinasmack Hunan story involving Mao Zedong’s 30 million yuan head?
I hope Tan Zhuo’s parents (also from Hunan) are not standing under Mao Zedong’s nose when it falls off!

Seems like a reasonable assumption.

They have to drill to get explosives into concrete. And even with a safety factor, it doesn’t take but one section to cause a failure that cascades.

This stuff happens all over the world. It’s only that the government tries to cover it up that makes it sensational. Some day they may get that. The best way to admit something went wrong is when it happens.

actually it was all over the news in China, even saw it on CCTV-4 all the way here in the United States. It appears 9 people from the demolition company and 3 government officials have been arrested negligence causing major accidents (see how the trial will come out) and each the deceased family have been compensated 400,000 yuan. looks like stuff can move quickly in China, if you light a fire under it…

whoa whoa whoa lets not rope taiwan in with mainland china here. this kind of stuff happens routinely in china, whereas taiwan has (standards!!!) a low rate of any kind of accident of this kind, and it was all over the news for days and the injured/deceased both got large settlements and public govt apologies. id like to see that happen in china!

The main problem is that the contractor for the demolition project is not truly a construction company, but rather a medium for sub-con to get their work. Thus the chaotic project coordination and execution. Which is government gross negligence to hand a project of this scale to a company like that.

Come on Rick, you have to admit that the monkeys cheat on their shit a lot more than what happens in the US. We should also investigate whether or not that company in Minnesota was Chinese owned.

You know what i can’t wait for, is when those “hospitals” and roads they are building in africa collapse and they start getting chopped. Then we will start seing the “protect China’s sovereignty” missions to Africa. Along with “Dont meddle in china’s internal affairs in Chinese Angola”

hahahaha

I love that last picture of the meat strewn about the road! What a shitty way to go, winding up under a fucking bridge that is purposely being demolished! How does this shit happen? I swear you people are genetically incompetent.
