They look like cans to me, if you look at the other pillars, the cans are still there too but rusted.

Yes indeed, it would most likely have collapsed at some point without the help of the earthquake....

Absolutely criminal. Mind you, I've seen some cost-cutting short cuts in Thailand but nothing on this scale for sure.

Latest I heard 59 dead and 74 still missing http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/02/11/taiwan-earthquake-death-toll-rises/80220354/#

And also this re the construction company

Government prosecutors have detained three construction company executives on suspicion of professional negligence resulting in death amid accusations that the structure, built in 1989, was not properly reinforced.

Its a very sad echo of the Mumbai building collapse in 2013 when floors and mezzanines are unsafely added into the original structure. Those poor people :(. Hopefully they can save as many as possible.

It would have seemed a good idea at the time, how to save money and sod the consequences. Hope those three and anyone else involved get true justice.
