Chinese residential building damaged after contractor digs too close
A 28-story residential building in China nearly collapsed after a construction company building a new structure dug too close to it. The digging started a landslide, caused foundation cracks and forced residents to evacuate. Construction equipment went over a property line by about six feet and loosened soil under the building.
