A building in the Minhang district tottered over and collapsed after the riverbed it was built right next to rose. Surprisingly, it stayed almost completely intact. Sadly, one worker died.And I thought "Hey, we used to live in Minhang near a small river and they started building new apartments across the river from us just as we moved to Xujiahui. I wonder..."
Sure enough. I've circled our former apartment in the photo below from EastSouthWestNorth.
And this would have been the view from our balcony.
Wow!
