Jesus is the foundation
Saturday, January 15, 2022
On June 27, 2009, the 13-story Lotus Riverside apartment complex in Shanghai, China, collapsed fully intact. A combination of digging for a garage, a large pile of dirt and heavy rains snapped the foundation pylons, causing the building to fall, leaving most windows and doors intact. The images show a building as if tired of standing, simply lying down.
