theres now the usual arguments about who's fault it is. did the basement wall give way first and leave the marina wall unsupported or vice versa.

A colleague has bought a flat in this block.... its already 6 months late and i reckon he can add another year onto that.

no they all got out. The management of the site released there was a problem and got the workers out of the basement. I beleive an hour or so later it collapsed.

Good management really, as usually out here they dont give a toss about H&S etc.

its still full of water with all the plant in, while they play the blame game.

LOL!!!!!!

it's funny because it's not me!

TBH when you look at how close it was and thin they had left the wall, surley there must (i hope) have been some structural calcs?

I would have reckoned that they would have to pile before the dug to retain that amount off water / wall!

now what they gonna do.. find a new piece of land?
