Technomart shook due to gym exercises...hmmmm.....

Interesting how it seems nobody can find these people or they wont talk. I wonder if they have been threatened?

Other holes:
1. Electronic devices were not needed to detect tremors. People were freaked-out enough just by what they felt. I suppose the owner will detect some small vibration and claim success.

2. Why do they have to practice in advance to duplicate the perfect scenario? Sounds like working toward a goal and tweaking things just right to make yourself right.

3. Apparently, certain floors feeling the vibrations are not included in this test?

And people say Koreans aren't creative!

People say things here are built well...

PFFT!

Sampoong Department Store collapse part II.

Bigger (39 floors instead of 5), better (50,000 people instead of 2000), more action packed and more spectacular than the 1st.

The sequel to end all sequels.

Opening soon at a Technomart near you.

Would be a sensible argument if there were a bunch of female NETs doing a class, but barring that, I think I'm going to stay the f away from technomart.

Wow. Richard Simmons bringing down the house- literally.

I predict that, after TM falls and the "owner" owns the whole mess, he will be long-gone and hiding in another country.

Know what? If that is true, that an exercise class caused all of this, then the place really is about to crumble.

One of my students has a friend who works at the place. As you can imagine, people are kind of scared to work there.

Well, on to more interesting things. I just found an e-mail in my inbox that proclaims to help me increase ding-dong length. Gotta check this out!

I wasn't here for the Sampoong Department Store collapse, but saw a show about it on Discovery Channel. This sound eerily like that situation. I have to wonder if shotty building is eventually going to end in something like that happening again.

TV news said they'd decided it was the wind and that everything was fine. Of course how the wind makes a building shake up and down wasn't explained.

[Swampfox10mm]

A friend is actually dating the relative of the owner. There is apparently something going on where the owners feel the issue is being pushed/created because a certain other group/company wants to devalue and gain ownership of the building. Not sure how true it is, but that's what I heard.
