So that's what communism gets you...


...dodgy concrete!  ;D


'course there could always have been a nearby earthquake or aftershock - though the USGS doesn't report any yesterday (I'm not sure, though, whether they actually have any tracking in mainland China,) that region is right on the east coast which is quite close to a fault line that terminates roughly in Taiwan.

No reinforcement?

You can see the steel in the roadway in the shattered bit.. but it looks very much like 'something' shifted and pulled the pylons out from under the roadway making it fall as two complete sections - I don't see anything tying the pylons into their foundations, though.. then again maybe that's normal?

If there was no reinforcement the concrete would shatter into many pieces the first time something heavy drove onto it. ;)
