Almost all of the building held together very well, and did not break apart. The glass and the frames holding the glass did great. It did not turn into a pile of rubble, but held together like car that flipped over.

Aside from the foundation, that building would have done great in an earthquake. The places where the glass survived, people would mostly survive - banged up, but the outside (the wall on top) did NOT fall in on the apartments.

The foundation and anchoring shows an astonishing level of screw-up. Are all the real foundation workers fixing earthquake damage out west ? That foundation is not even mediocre, it is a joke.

(Okay, we can insert the Barrack Obama / Joe Biden joke here)

Do you see anything similar in business in Asia ?
