(a bit of old news but high on entertaining factor)
A newly built 13-storey residential building collapsed in Shanghai yesterday, killing one worker.
The block of high-rise flats toppled onto its side in the muddy construction site raising concerns that building safety standards are being overlooked in favour of fast construction in China's rush to modernise.
The building appeared to be almost complete with fitted windows and a finished,tiled facade. Other similar-looking blocks in the same propertydevelopment were still standing nearby.

Crash: The newly built block of flats lies flat on its side after tumbling down in Shanghai leaving one person dead

Residents gather to take photos of the collapsed building from across the river

Exposed pilings lie in the remains of the building's foundations
Like Dr. Evil (in Austin Powers) said: "...we are not so different you and I, afterall...."
and Schadenfrude reins supreme in those other's minds:
Q.

The piles are freaking short...
