Remember the 15-story hotel built in six days? Well, this 12-story apartment building fell down in three seconds.
In fact, this apartment block was not built with pre-fab techniques and it’s certainly not Level 9 Earthquake-resistant. It’s just your typical brick and cement building.
They first build the block, and then started to excavate an underground parking on the front. They placed the soil on the back of the building. When the rains came, the water eroded the slope in the front of the terrain while, at the same time, helped to filter the material on the back into the ground. This caused a 3,000-tonne lateral pressure, which was too much for the building’s weak pillars to resist. They snapped like chopsticks, and the building fell down like a chopped tree.
Luckily for them, it was too far away from the other buildings to cause a domino effect.
Here you can find a video with the full explanation of why this building collapsed.

Amazing how the whole superstructure still remains intact after the fall. My guess is the ground becomes liquefied and cushioned the fall nicely. Even most of the glass windows are intact, and that is not possible if the ground were hard.
They now have a problem to cut up this structure.
