Also unbelievable:

China building collapse yields life terms.

A Shanghai court sentenced Que Jingde and Zhang Zhiqin, the two largest shareholders of the real estate firm Shanghai Meidu Real Estate on Wednesday, according to China Daily.

When is the last time an American shareholder got a life term for corporate misconduct?

Kudos to urban-review.com for putting some effort into the diagrams. They really make the explanation easy to understand. Most of the time you just get a paragraph, if any explanation at all, of the actual science and engineering problems related to something like this.

inbelievable is when it's MORE than believable. This building in China is not just believable, it's IN-believable.
