It's a bad design yeah but why were they all just gathering and standing there?

Indonesian Stock Exchange.

Bullshit no one died
idontlikeboobs
In architecture school we often watched videos like this. Literally scared people out of the profession.
VeryEnthusiasticWalksThroughtheWoods
There was a ton of people standing on it at one point. Floor definitely should have been stronger but can understand cause
TShooter59
Low bidder gets the job...
hagenist
We had better headline on Aus news site... “Indonesia Stock Exchange Collapses”
Dots77
Allah be praised.
Hreinyday
"Fortunately no one died" yeah that's what the authorities are saying.
AK90
Technically the catwalk collapsed and not the building :P
NewtonScamander
"Building collapse Indonesia no one died, fortunately 70 injuries" Punctuation is important
StaticVoidFalafel
That's what happens when people crowd the 2nd floor hallways!
niinetaiils
One lady in the 2nd gif wasn’t on the walkway, tried to hulk grab her friend who was falling...Didn’t work out to well for her >_>
RationalViking
that contractor ahould be investigated
Janusha
This is why we have strict rules and regulations for building stuff in civilized countries.
TatersWhatsTatersPrecious
I find it hard to believe no one died in all that, is that what the "government" is saying?
Denamic
Let's give the job to the lowest bidder. What could go wrong.
EggsaretheDevil
That's why we need strong regulations and standards. Capitalism doesn't work without socialism and vice versa.

Looking on the bright side. Maybe next time we'll get them.

Thank fuck for that, just wouldn't get the publicity if nobody was injured.

No one, died fortunately 70 injuries

Schadenfreude at it's finest.
kiwisarefeatherpumpkins
Fortunately, no one died. However 70 people were injured.
AssCreamSundae69
Holy fucking ass!
AssCreamSundae69
Im glad nobody lost their life!
w00tberrypie
Clearly didn't learn from the Hyatt in Kansas City.
banicks
100% was going to comment this. The same walkway overpass struts and all. Failed in the same spots, no secondary level for extra stress tho.
elfer
That collapse was due to it not being built as designed. Instead of long steel cables, these were cut to transport easier, then reattached.
PizzaPastaPizza
The Hyatt didn’t even learn from it’s self since the roof that had the same method of holding the rods collapsed during construction.
Airwolfen
Different in how it failed from what I see. Still though they used that accident as an example at my school.
Xedi22
Yeah... and even with design mistakes people in groups are very heavy. Can collapse houses, parking garages, etc.
elfer
In Australia, you generally account for 1 tonne/metre squared of people on these kinds of structures, then multiply it by a factor of safety
IHaveASiriusCyberneticsCorporationGenuinePeoplePersonality
One died fortunately?
arphaSleepWrecker
Yeah his name was Simon everyone hated him
Twinklepot
Fortunately 70 injuries apparently ...
RoodKontjeAapje
Building collapse Indonesia?! No!!!! One died fortunately. 70 injuries.
Twinklepot
*unfortunately
Twinklepot
One died unfortunately.
Locke108
Without a punctuation in the title I read "fortunately 70 injuries"
HEXADECIMAL
But seriously...Indonesia wtf?
benedictcumbersnatch
Me too I am dying
CaptainPawfulFox
I somehow read it as "no one died, unfortunately... but 70 injuries"
shyupacabra
Without those 70 injuries, all the other building collapses would have mocked this one endlessly
Zetor
MUAHAHA!

Let the bodies hit the tss.. tss.. tss.. tss..
MajorLeagueFister
On my phone that part is even on a new line
IdHaveSexualIntercourseWithHerIfSheLegallyConsentedToDoSoWithMe
Yup. "Building collapse Indonesia. No one died. Fortunately, 70 injuries." Is how I read it as well.
HaikuCarChase
How darkly optimistic
FromDenmarkWithHate
Reminds me of a Futurama newspaper gag "Thousands dead, none injured!"
OstrichBecky
all hail German architecture so I never will experience something like this
OstrichBecky
apparently there are some people who dont get irony. oh well.
LarsYB
Kölner Stadtbibliothek (2009), Eislaufhalle Bad Reichental (2006), Berliner Kongresshalle (1980). Shit always happens get over it.
Grindzycat
This one collapsed twice during construction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knick-Ei
LarsYB
Oh yeah that one is from my home town, ruined the city's finances for years.
Grindzycat
Ouch, that's really unfortunate. At least no one was hurt either time though
SteerableWizard
Yes luckily Germans have never built anything that has harmed people. **cough**
Daemoneyes
Hans, i think ze gas chamber is leaking, just heard one cough.
Lamech777
Iamnotacreativeman
Did they hire children to build the building?
circlebreaker
Cut-rate building design & construction, no gov't oversight or proper safety regulation. This is like a Nightclub-fire Lite version...
jetflight
No. "hire" implies they were paid.
TheObviouiator55
It's Indonesia, this shit happens a lot for them because they cut costs and half ass it
HeadlineNews
Lack of regulation. Business (construction) not following code, not having codes to begin with, not enforcing, or bribery.
DagraDai
probably. Indonesian construction is not the best there was a bank that flooded because it was underground and a 100 odd people died
putski
If you ever go to Indonesia, you will not be surprised this happened.
HawsePiper
This is true
TrustyBadmash
In Sumatra I saw a monkey riding a dog riding a pig, which itself was riding in the sidecar of a motorcycle.
putski
Haha, I was in Sumatra last year. Saw some crazy shit but not that crazy!
Kremithe
Can't speak specifically, but when shit like this happens, it's usually one of two reasons: incompetence/poor planning; or cutting costs.
CriticalJudgementalElitistPrick
Corruption is the word you are looking for.
SeriousSarcastic
100% this
Paranoidq
Probably for the benefit of their shareholders... ironically.
WeylandYutaniCorp
Lack of oversight. Which is why we need regulatory bodies.
chromed
But muh free markets! /s This kind of shit is why people that take the regulation=bad stance annoy me.
WeylandYutaniCorp
I mean, think about it... If the Weyland Yutani Corp is saying we need regulation... ;)
glovelyday
I tell those free marketers that if it wasn't for safety regulations their grandparents would probably have died before having offspring
WeylandYutaniCorp
So... maybe the free market isn't so bad. ;)
Kremithe
Or both; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse
Kremithe
edit: I don't think the Hyatt walkway collapse involved cutting corners monetarily. Maybe rushing a poorly thought-out plan at most (as
Kremithe
the original plan even if followed was insufficient; creating a new plan will take a long time), but it seems to be mostly incompetence.
Traja01
My understanding is they used below-grade metal in the support struts to save some money.
Traja01
Precisely because tort law incentivizes not cutting corners because it'll cost more in the long run.
Traja01
This case is a classic torts case because it illustrates how tort law encourages companies to pursue the public good (safety).
KanyeWesticularCancer
How the fuck did no one die? That’s incredible.
CommanderShitFace
Humans survive bullet wounds, dismemberment, and horrible diseases, but slip and bump their head after the shower and die so magic probably
jasonddgs
My question is why were like 30 people gathered in one area
PeePeeFrictionPleasure
According to the article I read about the incident - they were mostly students taking a tour of the place, and there was an expo as well
ChainmailleAddict
Fortunately, there were 70 injuries!
cptcr
cardboard is light weight?
WhatTheFruckRrobsterKraws
One died fortunately
Level21Magikarp
So was there a fatality or not? generally healthy humans want others to not die btw
dagg3r
Those 3 under it were sooo close
lastminutepanicmode
It looks like two of them went into a door or elevator right at the time it collapsed and the other ran off
PeePeeFrictionPleasure
Uh-oh, I think we all know what this type of plot leads to.
abacaxi
Yeah. Nobody died because tyhey were all Illuminati. Earthquakes don't damage steel beams. Wake up sheeple.
Vaenaemoenen
Are you saying they're all gonna die eventually?
PeePeeFrictionPleasure
Well technically, we all do die eventually
YamatoIouko
I want to see a long-game Final Destination.
donotlookatthelight
As a civil engineer (in training)....AHHHHHHHHH
teaforyouandme
Would love if you could tell more about why this happened!
donotlookatthelight
I would be glad to. Most likely the connections were undersized which means that there isn’t enough material to transition the load (1/2)
donotlookatthelight
From the deck to the hanging supports. Watch the first gif they kinda just detach and the deck falls.
donotlookatthelight
Google Hyatt regency disaster it was very similar but like 200 people died
ScienceGoneTooFar
I-beams were not set correctly, looks like they were just jointed together rather than one long one into the wall
CantStopTheNipple
Don't necessarily have to be inserted into the wall, connections seem to be the culprit here but they are very often used
ScienceGoneTooFar
I'm just saying from the clips there are no supports, so you would need to have it run into the wall
CantStopTheNipple
No need, you could have steel connections supporting up to 20k each with some embedded bolts or expansion anchors, 6-8 inches depending on P
glovelyday
Just like the Kansas City hotel walkway collapse in 1981. 114 died there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse

ShawnS4362
This is used as an example for future engineers as to why small changes matter.
elderlyechbert
The rods in the indonesian one brake from the top, while the kansas city collapse is at the nuts.
glovelyday
Sorry not exact enough for you, but the point is the collapses were both caused by failures of the rods' connections on "floating" walkways.
SlickerThanNick
as a civil engineer, that was my first thought too. the analysis of that was always the opening to our structures classes in college
Traja01
It's also taught in every 1L torts class in every law school in the country. Very famous case.
CantStopTheNipple
Also on Ethics courses
glovelyday
A failure on so many levels, so many chances to correct, so many people not doing their job. Always thought of it reviewing shop drawings.
