  • At least 48 people were killed after a large section of highway collapsed in southeastern China, sending nearly two dozen vehicles plummeting down a steep slope and bursting into flames.
    The tragedy unfolded around 2 a.m. Wednesday as a portion of the four-lane freeway gave way following a month of torrential rains in the city of Meizhou, authorities said.
    “Most of the vehicles were buried in soil during the collapse, with a large volume of soil covering them,” Wen Yongdeng, Communist Party secretary for emergency management in the city, told reporters. “Because some of the vehicles involved caught fire, the difficulty of the rescue operation has increased.”

    If anyone thinks this incident is a isolated one in China regarding engineering disasters and collapsed buildings your in for a wake up call when you go see how regular it happens. Most of Beijing was under water recently and many poorer area's completely washed away. Major disaster. No matter how hard the Chinese tried to supress news of it getting out.

      I used to watch these to expats who lived in China and they talked about the lack of regulations and how quickly they can construct buildings and other things. Lots of buildings go up but they also have issues with collapses and things breaking....
