That's pretty bad but definitely better that the one where the guy was forced to kneel and get slapped 10+ times and more recently where the guy gets kicked and stepped on by his 'gf'.

Seriously, what's up with HK girls? I thought mainland girls were spoiled, they have nothing on those HK "princesses"...

My Dutch newspaper writes today that the tunnels of the single high speed railway line in the Netherlands, from Amsterdam to the Belgian border, show serious concrete degradation and will not survive the specified hundred years but about a third of that unless serious and expensive measures are taken. It seems the concrete is too porous so water reaches the steel reinforcing bars. Incompetence? Corruption? I don't know, I just wonder.

Why do I get the nagging feeling it was staged...?
It isn't as the girl was charged with assault but later dropped. I wished it was staged really. Makes us looks bad otherwise. Here the video with subs

and another one where the guy is kicked multiple times

No amount of dense concrete could ever stopped water from entering through it eventually and reach the re-bars (steel structures). It's more of a drainage problem instead. Steal can last up to a thousand years before rust deteriorates it. Looks to me like they didn't put enough aggregate materials (pebbles and small rocks) to make the concrete more sturdier and robust.

I remember China tackling this problem when they were building the Hanzhou bay bridge. It required special concrete mix formula and techniques to reduce hidden cracks in concrete blocks.

How the bridge is built (part 1 of 5). Other parts can be found.
