    It never even should have been considered….what they are doing is incredibly dangerous. It is being done in public view and likely will be stopped and whoever behind it held accountable.

    Engineers, that being professional civil engineers take oaths, they swear to never intentionally put human life at unnecessary risk!

    Governments typically have to authorize or permit demolitions as well as construction plans. They have to review them and then sign off on them.

    The outcry over this likely and rightfully should be deafeningly loud, if anything good comes from this it should be reform to the procedures policies and regulations behind it. The people behind it should be pulled out on it and held accountable.

    Those of you that live in china should pay close attention and give serious consideration to the structural integrity of all that exists around you, this incident demonstrates the need to do so.

    I'm speechless...
    It sure beats the worker I saw one day, standing on top of a wall, and proceeding to destroy it with a sledge hammer between his legs....
    Didn't have any camera unfortunately...

    I still can't get over that excavator on top of the building. Maybe it is a altered photo.

    One of the greatest ones i saw was a guy cleaning the facade of a very high building. He was hanging half way down the facade, on a rope that hung from the top and went all the way down. At the bottom there was another guy holding onto the rope, running up and down the pavement to swing the guy above him and increase his reach. It was hilarious.

    Wish i had my camera that day too...

    Hey it's easy to criticize, but I'd like to see you try and drive while drinking a coffee, shaving and texting at the same time.
