Construction workers should have some level of pre-thought; otherwise they can end up with the funniest mistakes ever. Here are some examples of hilarious solutions aka technological fails.

 

These old photographs show how New York’s skyscrapers were built and how dangerous the work of construction workers was.

 

Built less than one year ago, this multi story housing unit in China already began to crack and crumble. Go inside the post to see how the local government decided to solve this problem. 

 

If you are looking for a new house to live in, you can always build one of your own. Take a look at this earthbag building guide that explains superadobe construction method in Argentina. It’s not that expensive!

 

The doomed ship was built in Belfast over a three-year span and these impressive black and white images show just how colossal an undertaking it was.

 

Stretching 840 feet above and across the Colorado River and nine years in the making, these stunning images prove man’s ingenuity. This architectural wonder is a sight to behold and was finished in late 2010.

 

This is housing construction in a Russian city. The work definitely leaves something to be desired.

In Saint Petersburg on Friday 11th, several concrete blocks collapsed from a building under reconstruction on the roadway, crushing parked cars.  At least five cars were damaged. One man was in his car when the blocks fell down. One of them fell on his car trapping the man inside and causing him injuries. 

The victim was taken to the hospital, his condition is serious.
FYI: the weight of one block is about two tons.
 

You definitely need to see this work. This should have been a power station fundament. Good luck with that. I wouldn’t like them to build my future house.
