Has nothing to do with “infrastructure” or China falling apart.

Posted on March 30, 2011 at 6:43pmThe nicest buildings I saw in Iraq were made by the Chi-coms. Of course they were still crappy by our standards and some American engineering took em out. We are so blessed to live in the Western World and have the ‘problems’ that we do.

Posted on March 30, 2011 at 3:29pmIt looks cheaply made, and built much too low! Good thing it wasn’t a pedestrian crosswalk.

Posted on March 30, 2011 at 7:36pmI’m betting your right, the truck was over height, and hit it, that would explain the appearance of stuff falling off as it went on down the road

Posted on March 31, 2011 at 4:30pmWhat do “strict building codes” have to do with the fact that the truck in front of the bus hit that “aqueduct” and made it fall?
