Collapsing buildings and more

Many VN blogs have posted these videos already.





This incident has led to a flurry of articles in the VN press. This article has many pictures of subsiding buildings.

Anyone who has lived in HCMC for a while will you tell you there aren't many buildings that don't subside in one way or another, with cracks, paths/steps sinking, mysterious bumps appearing and so on.

Poor foundation work, inadequate concrete mix, and insufficient steel reinforcement. Result = Structure Failure.
