Highland Towers collapse ruins

For those Malaysians who still remember the tragedy of the collapsed Highland Towers apartment happened in the 11th of Dec, 1993, the ruins of the collapsed Block 1 is now surrounded by forest.

I still can remember I went there to witness the ruins of the collapsed tower when the event occured. I was 4 at that time, I dunno the concept of apartment, all I can remember is the "houses" fall down like domino blocks.


This is the picture what really happened.


It's almost 13 years since the tragedy. There's more info in this link.
