Pictures of marina walkway collapse
I got these pictures from skyscaper city - courtesy Imre. The pictures say it all really and reflects the general quality of construction here. Scary.

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I read the 7 Days article, IG...doesn't give you any faith in the quality of construction here does it.

Re: Pictures of marina walkway collapse
Unfortunately true Greco. They are in such a tearing hurry, quality is just not even considered. The construction (infinty towers) site at the side (the foundation) was flooded, you can actually see the top of a crane in the water. THANK GOD there were no human casualties. People should be hanged for carelessness.
I am not having very nice thoughts about the palms, jumeriah islands.......I guess my imagination is running wild, or on second thoughts may be not.
