There's a construction organisation here called "Condident Group" who are building apartment blocks, shopping malls etc. all over Bangalore and Tamil Nadu. Yesterday the recently cast 20th floor of an under construction apartment block slowly collapsed downward taking successive lower floors as it yielded to gravity. It took 50 minutes as collapse was slowed by the rebar bending / pulling out. No one was killed but a few hurt falling over things in escape runs. The injured were treated at hospital and then the whole site was whizzed away by the company to an undisclosed location. Police who arrived to investigate were simply told to p........ off.

It's a miracle that nobody was killed. What some cowboys.
Dear Middle ditch,
It certainly was.My friend at work who is working for the company in India is always telling us crazy tales about life in that part of the world.
