I assume it was yet another scrapple project like that parking garage that collapsed earlier this year. Will America ever overcome its good-enough attitude?
Soviets: some random steel plant had so much durability they couldn’t collapse it with modern weapons like 50 years later.
Americans: how much can we save in material costs if we fudge the numbers in the safety margin?
Let's also bring in the epic engineers of 14th century China for comparison. Their city walls were so durable that not even 20th century artillery could punch through them. Nowadays America builds their walls out of plastic and sawblades. Disgraceful!
sawblades?
Really makes you think about construction in China
American thing happens in America what is this, Asia?
North America is rightfully part of Asia
Can anyone confirm if this building was Made in China™ or made with Chinese materials?
i saw on twitter that there was an obvious crack on the front wall for years and all the inspectors "missed" it
Screenshots of Reddit text makes me want my 
back.
Firstly because I left Reddit for a reason. And secondly because what’s the point of screenshots of text when you can just paste the text, especially considering that some people with visual impariments can’t read screenshots?
it's funnier to imagine the redditors screeching just out of frame.
This is the infamous "chicken nugget pink slime construction" of America stemming from "cls-engh".
"cls-engh"
what's the joke here
fucked up transliteration scheme where you can barely tell what the original word was supposed to be.
