That fallen apartment building looks like it came up by the roots.

This is a different building site in Taiwan; there is some suggestion that the collapse of the building (during an earthquake) might have bee due in part to the use of CANS as filler material.

A couple of years ago, I saw a photo of a bridge on the mainland where they found that under the concrete skin was a bunch of paper and cardboard refuse.
