What is going on today? Yet another tragic and frightening disaster video has gone viral on the Chinese internet today, showing the moment earlier this morning when an urban rail construction site in Dongguan suddenly and finally collapsed.
According to Apple Daily, the site had partially collapsed the day before opening up a gargantuan sink hole. As workers tried to repair the damage and reinforce the site earlier today, it finally completely collapsed, shaking the entire neighborhood in the process and killing one worker underground.
This is the fifth collapse in just the past three years within 4 kilometers of the site, with each one more devastating than the last.
Watch the terrifying video here and just refrain from going outside today:

It's amazing only one person was lost in that collapse. Tragic nonetheless, but somehow still a blessing that all others involved survived.
Between their failing economy, all the massive explosions and the literally collapsing infrastructure... China needs a damn hug this year.

Yeah, they do...lot of stuff happening with typhoons, flooding and explosions, along with sinkholes.

It's called high-tech warfare. Cause chaos without firing a bullet. Seen the value of the Yuan lately?
Then again, they likely did this all by themselves.

It's called growing too quickly. The population of the Earth is increasing exponentially, which is in turn adding more and more buildings, roads, homes, etc...which then leads to resources being used faster i.e., more digging for utilities, pumping more water out of aquifers, etc...which leads to things like this.
It's just like with storms now. People think they are getting more frequent, when in reality they are decreasing but we just have more people around to witness and report them.

I dunno. Maybe HAARP? Like I already said, they likely did this to themselves. This is nothing new for China. Less than a month ago a similar incident occurred at a fuel storage facility. Big blast, but fewer deaths...or so we are told.
