Whoaaa!... I've been told for the last 10 years that a building can't just fall on its own. It can't even fall when a fuel laden jet liner flies into it at 500 mpg and creates a raging, kerosene accelerated fire. A building can only fall down when it's covered with "thermite" paint and wired with explosive by George Bush, Rudy Guliani, and the Joooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooz!!!!

Mr Oliver said he was not surprised by the falling building and said: "The infrastructure is poor - only areas such as Barra de Tijuca are modern and well regulated, but behind the main streets in the centre of Rio there are crumbling dirty sidestreets where safety is not the top priority."
Engineers say age is unlikely to have been the cause of the buildings' collapse.
Professor Paulo Roberto do Lago Helene, from the civil engineering school of the University of Sao Paulo, More..

Did you truthers just see what I saw? I sure as hell hope so because those buildings were never touched by anything and they pretty much fell right where they stood.

Many construction companies working in Rio de Janeiro beach sand used in place of sand for construction, that is the problem.
Some years ago a residential building collapsed and killed some people the name of this building was PALACE II.
Materials of poor quality, poor quality buildings.
