No, I just meant that it's impressive that it held up that well AFTER falling over! If you could stand it back up, you wouldn't have to build it again, just patch the cracks!

I think we may be seeing the good side. And then there are the structural cracks that probably developed from the toppling. What gets me are the pilings.....or the lack thereof. I hope they are not SOP for China.......because if true, this won't be the last building to topple.
