Shanghai Apartment Collapse
Apartment buildings next to natural resources such as forests, rivers, or oceans are usually in high demand in most parts of the world. An investment company in Shanghai, China, took advantage of this narrative and constructed luxurious 13-floor apartments next to a river. Things went horribly wrong when digging out the underground parking for one of the buildings. The subsequent digging led to the collapse of the river bank and, later, the entire building. Interestingly the building toppled over completely intact, but unfortunately, one worker died in the process.
