China - Outrage

China - Outrage

China - Outrage

(OP)
Damaging the structure  then permitting traffic under it certainly should cause outrage !!

RE: China - Outrage

unsuccessfully tried to demolish it with explosives but then allowed traffic to resume under it?

RE: China - Outrage

Shows you how much they value "life" - just about as much as they value the "morality" of not copying business secrets or duplicating patented designs.

RE: China - Outrage

I'm confused by this... that site and another fairly poorly written one mention the "attempted demolition"... I found a video from Reuters (a slightly more credible source, I think) which doesn't mention that at all, just the closing of the highway. Terrible, in any case, but I'm curious about the explosion bit...

RE: China - Outrage

(OP)
Yes it is confusing.Xinhuanet mentions an unqualified company ,a practice session [ ???] which cracked the bridge.A number of people arrested from the company.It wasn't old ,having been built in 1995.You'll soon be able to buy their cars here too !!

RE: China - Outrage

They are so "concerned" about the loss of life that they will probably shoot the contractors who built the bridge.

RE: China - Outrage

Robertmet, yeah, like you can get their drywall here now.

Regards,

Mike
