“I felt the ground start to collapse and it happened so fast that I couldn’t do anything,” Mark said later. “I reached for the ground as I was going down and it gave way, too. It seemed like I was falling for a long time. The real scary part was I didn’t know when I would hit bottom and what I would land on.”
Speaking of men falling, Yesterday in Toronto a man installing sewer pipes fell into a 12 foot ditch and had a slap of concrete fall on him, killing him.
I wonder if it has to do with a vast lack of root systems, which help to hold things in place. In my opinion, it's foolish to think that we can have permanent structures in this ever-changing world. Buildnatural disasters and erosion occur... We need to change something, soon. Buildings that are so tall or so wide and so inflexible really don't have a place.
