what if the earthquake was a year from now and the building was fully occupied with workers ?  

 

I would bet the building would not have collapsed then.  The fact that the one  building that collapsed was under construction was probably not a coincidence.

 

Since the collapse started at the top, it's likely the heavy crane at the top and it's tens of tons of weight was the domino that started the collapse.

Well I think if the average Chinese person was not so brainwashed by the notion that their dinosaur-in-a-suit of a leader's mantra, was a deeply humanitarian force of good for the world, I'd agree with you.

 

I personally don't believe the average Chinese person isn't, which you may disagree with.

 

I really hope you aren't writing that as an American - that would be irony in the extreme.  But somehow I expect that you are as that is the type of propaganda you are constantly fed.

Correct, but your nation does.

How many countries has China invaded in the last 100 years?

Wonder if the tsunami early warning system is still working?

I bet my Australian houses  to a $1 bet. in the next year from now, that regular maintenances and regular testing are not actioned! Its like their large trucks. Thailand is not pro activity. It's post activity. They only do it after  a tsunami or major truck accident. Which unfortunately is when many lives are lost or in the case of a tsunami thousands.

I am just so happy that I am not a Thai person that has to work in any highrise office tower in Bangkok or

anywhere in Thailand in a high rise building. My one relative ran 15 floors to get out of her building after

she felt the quake. She is working from home now for a while. i hope the building inspectors do a good

job looking at her offrice tower. I wish all Thais good luck.

The more Chineese companies are allowed  to partake in major construction projects the more likelihood of further disasters. 

Crooked Thai officials combined with Chineese developers spell trouble.
