[Healeys] Made in China

[Chris Masucci]

Rebar?  If a building like that fell over from an earthquake or something in
the USA there would be bent pieces of 2" diameter rebar all over the place.
Looks like they strung it together with baling wire, and didn't even do that
right.  Where are the top to bottom connectors?  Side to side trusses, base
stabilization?  Concrete only works in compression!!

Hacks exist in every country, but this is pathetic. An average freshman
structural engineer could do better.

After seeing this I'm not sure I want to fly on a plane made in China.

There's an explanation/excuse along with the pictures:
