They have entire high rise building topple over.



Of course we had that condo in Florida collapse due to lack of maintenance. But that is sorta just a "Florida man" thing. Maintenance costs money, so just ignore the issue and maybe it will go away.

I can see the AliExpress ad : for sale slightly used bridge . Needs assembly

I was wondering how many will be executed after that debacle.

I ordered a Bosch distributor cap and rotor not long ago - I was really hoping they hadn't been made in China once I'd opened the package. This is kinda the reason why (they were made in Spain).

A 30-40 year old ocean front, poorly maintained building is a big difference from a month's old bridge.

Yea, no one died in the bridge collapse.

Dude with camera had one job to do.

That video was so choppy and what’s with the splice?

That's certainly a difference in the effect, but not a difference in the cause.

I don't think Will's statement was a comment that no one was responsible.

But you have to admit that a new car with 5 miles on the odometer having a rod come through the side of the block in ordinary driving is a little different than a 40yo car with 300k miles do the same thing.

I bet that bridge was made with Chineseum.
