I know right. It’s amazing how little damage the building has as a whole, apart from the whole slipping off its foundations thing.

A guy on the news said the first five floors are underground now, implying it has subsided (as well as collapsed?). The stresses on the structure must be immense so it's obviously built like a brick shithouse.

Just saw a front view on the news. They have propped the front up, with what looks like pieces of wood, that would explain why it hasn’t toppled over yet.

That picture of the hotel on its side is amazing. Can’t believe it’s still “standing” to be honest.
